Hey guys! I was just wondering what you all think is the BEST workstation keyboard available to buy? Consider these factors: Sound Quality, Expandability, Ease of Use, Reliability, Memory, etc. What workstation has all of these features in a good range? To start us off, I'd like to say that, in my opinion....I think the Yamaha motif ES series are EXCELLENT for creating high quality, crystal clear, and versatile songs...The sampling features are excellent and the expandibility is great...Room for M-LAN, memory upgrade, good options for "souping up" the keyboard. I actually just got my Motif es7 today, but I have played it ALOT in the past at the local Ken Stanton music store...HOURS AT A TIME. In my opinion, I prefer the Motif ES7...its the most versatile...good size...lightweight...still all the same features as an ES8 but without the inconvenience of 65 pounds haha.
So, I'd like to know which keyboard workstations you all prefer, and why...then we could all use each other's opinions to help us decide which keyboards fit our needs as we all continue through our musical endeavors...Happy posting.

OASYS :P at least it will be when they make a cheaper knock off.

This will probably need to be moved to gear.

1: Korg OASYS (price will keep most people from getting one)
2: Kurzweil K2600XS (still extremely powerful if you can get past the learning curve
3: Yamaha Motif ES (the convoluted interface doesn't help though)
4: Korg Triton Extreme (very close competition with the Mo)
5: Roland Fantom X

That's my opinion anyway.
