The MKS80 is more like a Jupiter 6. Get the Jupiter 8, you won't be
disappointed.

I have never had the MKS 80, but did have a JP8 for about ten years. If you
like analogue, you'll probably like it a lot. Very tweakable, very lush,
great arpeggiator (assuming you like those things - some folks don't).
Built like a tank, most handsome coloring, great sound. Don't forget it'll
likely need a couple hundred $$ maintainance every few years. I've got the
schemo/repair docs - not for the faint-hearted or inexperienced.
