It sounds as though you are using Voices in dual mode which
would explain why you max out at 4-5 note chords.

I've audtioned the MOTIF only a few times and I think it sounds
wonderful - very 'Yamaha', i.e., bright-open-airy, I wouldn't
hesitate to use the elec piao's in the MOTIF over those on the
AN1x/PLG150AN.
I still think you should check in at MOTIFATOR.com or David C's
CS6x list here at Yahoo! (check the Bookmarks
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list/links section for the
URL) and see what actual users have to say...I'm only
suggesting things I'd consider if I were going to go that router.
And for the records, I still think the PLG concept is a good, cost
effective solution!
