DOOR,
I really feel it's a personal preference. I chose the Motif over Korg's Triton and Rolands Fantoms. Probably because I own a Yamaha S90. After comparing the S90 to Tritons and Fantoms, (at the time I was not interested in sampling). I felt the feel of the S90 made the sounds even more expressive. It seems to me the Yamaha weighted keys are heavier than the Roland and Korg synths.

So when I wanted to upgrade my 76 key keyboard from a Roland XP-80 I stayed with Yamaha (went to an ES7) because primarily of the sound.

So now I'm using an S90 and an ES7. This may seem a little redundant but since I don't always use both boards for every gig, whether I use the ES7 or the S90, I'm always using the sounds I want most anyway.

Before you buy, get internet price quotes at every website you can, take the lowest to either Sam Ash or Guitar Center or where ever you shop. They should price match.

I got my ES7 for 1999.99. Which I thought was very good.
