MOTM

A very biased opinion...

I'd go with the encore expressionist. the wall wart was the first thing 
i noticed about this unit, since i mount the expressionist in the same 
cabinet as my motm, i solved that problem by adding a 9V transformer to 
the back of my motm-900 power supply, now i just flip one switch to 
turn everything on and no more pesky wall wart. i don't have any 
problems with the kenton stuff, but the only M->CV convertor I would 
buy from them is the pro-4 and at $899, it's a a little pricey. I love 
the expressionist and find it's 8 CV and 8 gate outputs to by very 
useful. The polyphony options are also very usefull and user friendly.-
