Having read all this I'm now also confused!

Initially I wanted to go for a V-synth. Now it turned out that the next keyboard that I have to get has to be a weighted action 88 note workstation that can take care of all the boring Piano/Tuba crap so I can free up the CPU on my Mac to do better things.

I agree with everyone who picked the Motif over the Phantom.
FIrst of all I prefer heavy piano keyboard action. Second of all the Motif synths can be expanded with plug-in synths ; not just samples. I'm not too worried about the size of the display because I'm blind as a bat. Software editors and screen readers are my only hope when it comes down to editing.
