The Jup 6 has midi (albeit early implementation) while the juno 60 has
DCB and would require an adapter to get midi in/out. The Jup has 2 VCO
osc while the Juno has 1. The Jup has more modulation options than the
Juno. The Jup is rarer and more expensive. The Jup looks a hair cooler
with all its lights and slightly more modern industrial design.

Both sound really good, both have memory for storing patches.

I've owned several Juno's (both 6 and 60), but have only admired the
Jup 6 from a distance;^)
