 good plan.<<

Just as "Epicantic", I too have a JP-6 and JP-8080.  I have to agree with 
what he said.  In addition you lose a couple of voices, ring modulator, 12dB

filters, pitch envelope, and all those interesting osc waveform 
manipulations.  Plus the JP-6  knobs, sliders and buttons feel really cheap 
and hollow (it's no JP-8 in terms of physical construction).
