Where can i find Motif 8?

[Gospelkeys]

Hi. I'm in a long search for NEW Yamaha Motif8. Apparently, they are no longer available in retail store or in mail orders.. Does anyone know where i can find NEW yamaha motif 8? I know its tough .. i know i can buy the used ones in ebay but i would much prefer NEW ones (fresh out of the box). If anyone knows anything, let me know.. Willing to pay whatever necessary.

i know i can buy the ES8 but they are like 2,899 and I don't know if it quite matches up against the Motif.. What do you yall think?

The ES is even better than the original Motif. Twice the polyphony, has the three-layer piano sample, twice the ROM, better filters, more insert effects and multi-band compression as a master effect, wider variety of orchestral sounds, etc.

i know i know ES is upgraded version of Motif... But some people just PREFER motif rather than ES. I like motif sound better than ES... I dont need crazy effects.. I think it's a person's preference... does anyone agree with me?

Anyhow, i just found the new Motif online and ordered it today!!
