I have the plans as well, but never felt the need to install the
upgrade.  The JP-4 is an early 'synth with memory' and as such
has some limitations.  You don't have much control over the
sound after storing it.  Slider and knob movements don't affect
the stored/preset sound so I tend to use the JP-4 like a
MiniMoog - front panel/manual mode only.  I guess if you had some
basic sounds you liked storing more of them would be OK.  I have
seen memory mods for everything from 2x to 4x the number of
slots.
