Hi
i own a CS80 and CP80
i wanted to try to put the cs on the top of the cp, but, to me, it was
not nice watching, neither easy to play, since the CS80's case is very
thick, so it'd make the same as putting a case under a synth, on the
top of the piano (for exemple, i think putting a matrix 12 on the top
of the CP is much more nice and practical)
about eddie jobson, well, i remember thinking the same, and while
watching the picture in the booklet of night after night (live in
japan) you could see the stand under is different)
i believe after he had the CS in front of the cp after (with jethro tull)

make sense when you get yours-its the most playable synth ive ever
had. standing up would really blow, IMO. best of luck.
