Yes it is. It's all because of the CS80. People tend to praise the pinacle in a line of synths. The Jupiter 6 vs. 8 is another example.

I had a question on the 80 vs. 60. I finally got the chance to check out an 80, although for a very limitted time. What surprised me was that it was a two OSC version of the 60 plus more but it seemed more like two independent 60s in one box that you could layer over eachother. You basically picked on patch for one synth engine and a second patch for another synth engine and then layered them. The two patches could be different and each one was edited separately. Can you also just have one patch using all OSCs for both engines or is it literally just two CS60s in one box that you can layer on top of eachother or split along the keyboard?
