I'll be brief. Here are the choices (salient points listed).

Jupiter-X: (Jup-8, Juno 106, JX-8P, SH-101, RD, XV-5080), looks (oh, the looks...), 5-octave full size keyboard. USD 2500

Jupiter-Xm: (all of the above), minus the looks (and I mean it), 3-octave mini keyboard. USD 1300

System-8: (Jup-8, Juno 106, JX-3P), 4-octave full size keyboard, adaptive illumination (only valid controls light up). USD 1300.


So it's either an extra USD 1200 for the extra instruments, the looks-oh-the-looks and an extra octave.

Or -- for the same, lower price -- the choice between the extra instruments and mini keys vs the full size keyboard and the control illumination thing.

If that was your choice, too, how did you weigh these options?

Stay sane and healthy, Ralph
