Ah, but then again consider that the MKS-80 has 8-note
polyphony versus the JP-6's six, split and LAYERING
capabilities, responds to velocity, displays parameter
values on a backlit LCD screen, and stores patches to
M64c cartridges.

I agree that the JP-6's multimode filter and ability
to  select multiple waves simultaneously per VCO are
features that are unfortunately missed on the MKS, but
all the additional goodies listed above (plus the
convenience of it all being in a 2-space rack) more
than make up for the minuses in my book.  I personally
would choose the MKS over the JP-6, provided you get
an editor such as SoundDiver or, naturally, an MPG-80
to go along with it!
