Subject: Tonal Character: JP-8 vs. JP-4

After a much needed tune up of Module C on my JP-4, I'm regretting the =
fact that I just auctioned it off!  :-(  I had to sell it though, I need =
the cash.  BUT, since I've got a Jupiter 8 on the way, I don't feel so =
bad.  Here is my question.  Having never played an 8, and only hearing =
the "oh it's in this song, and that song" blah blah blah, I want to know =
from someone who's owned both; how similar is the tone of the 8 to the =
4?  Yes, I know 8 voices vs. 4 voices, blah blah...but the overall =
character of the sound is what I'm looking for.  Will the 8 sound like =
the 4 at all?  How do the filters stack up against one another (I know =
the 8 is switchable between 12 & 24)...I'm just looking for some comfort =
in the fact that I had to sell off a synth I loved...(sigh)
