Feature:
The setup on the wide lcd color screen, in collaboration with the sliders, voicing and sequencing.........awesome.

Quality:
In comparison to the triton, it looks more attractive and professional. Everything looks like its in tact, free of any blemishes. Very durable.

Value:
I had second thoughts of getting it, but after my experiment with it a few nights, it is worth every single penny. Its like a portable studio.

Desirability:
The color, the 8 valves, large color lcd screen, and the proportion just gives the motif xs a complete rich finish.

Sound:
The preset voices are so realistic and heart-throbbing. The piano, guitar and brass are closest you can get to an actual instrument. The organ is like a leslie hammond organ where you can control the valves with the sliders and add chorus in real time with the right fader. I spent the entire night just admiring the voice bank of this synthesizer.

Ease of Use:
I never owned a motif before this one, but I found all of the features quite convenient and useful.

Support:
The guys at the company are wonderful and very helpful.

Overall:
I don't think that i would be in need of another keyboard anytime soon. This is by far the best overall keyboard ever made.
