i went to sam ash recently and was shown both the Motif and the Roland phantom.

my dad was blown away by the Motif. we both decided that the Motif sounded supior to the Roland.

we also chose the lay out of the phantom to the motif. the screen the layout was far better.

the salesman stated he personaly liked the Motifs piano the best from the two.

im still at a loss. i got the price and everything for the Motif.

but the sounds are better, and thats what counts the most.

im not sure which is better for the long run.

spending a few grand is ridiculous at most. i couldnt imagine haveing to spend more, and i need to get the stand the dvd to work it and speakers to hear it.

8sigh* still at a loss, im drifting towards the Motif.
