Haven't decided yet.  I have several other synths, but I was looking for a
good synth to use an an "all-in-one" gigging synth that would have
excellent quality versions of all the basic sounds I need (ac. pno, rhodes,
wurlitzer, B3, strings, pads, analog synth sounds, etc.

I could have gone with the S80, but I didn't want to go above 40 lbs in
weight.

I could have gone with a Triton Pro, but I don't think the user interface
is designed very well for live performing, at least not for me.

For me, the best system I have yet used is my combination of a Roland A-50
controller plus a rack with several synth modules.  But it's not perfect -
I don't like carrying the rack around to gigs, the A-50 user interface is
good but could be better.   Etc., etc.

It looks like I'm never going to find what I'm looking for, so I'm
considering abandoning the search.  I may just buy a Korg CX-3, and gig
with my P80 piano and the CX3.
