Hmm,

Time to chime in here,...

I have both (JP8080) and would not part with either.  Both are
completely different animals as faras I am concerned.

  The Juno_106 is in demand for good reason.  It has increddible sounds
and is really fun to tweak with all those levers.  The Juno-106 was my
first synth and what I used while I learned about sound synthesis.  If
it was good enough for Bill Orbit and Madonna then it will serve my
needs.  Whenever I need a track to sound like a Juno-106,  that is what
I use.

The JP8080, I predict, is going to be something that only achieves a
high degree of demand after it has been around a bit.  It has been in my
studio for about 6 mos.  I would part with it for around $2500 US at
this point and tomorrow the price goes up to $3000.  This thing makes so
many fucked up sounds that I find myself wishing there were three or
four of them in the studio.  It is an absolute breeze to program and
save user patches.  I have never tried to get my 8989 to sound like
anything other than an 8080.  Besides being a nice synth with lots of
realtime editable parameters, it is also a nifty  sound processor for
other synths and samplers.  It
