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
