Message: [QUOTE="polo, post: 225792, member: 14061"] Between the Montage 8 and Fantom 8 - the Montage... it pretty much came down to what it should (for me) - and that is the sound. There is really no comparison between the "instrument " sounds (pianos, strings, orchestras, guitars, etc.) - the Yamaha (with its sampling) wins hands down (over Roland's modeling, etc.) And then the Montage's Super Knob (you can turn the flashing off, and also choose a color you like, etc.) - its function is simply amazing... Nothing like it on any other synth... As far as synth sounds - it's pretty much a draw - Yamaha's DX7, etc. vs. Roland's... might give Roland the edge on synth sounds. I kept getting caught up on looks/aesthetics... the Fantom looks much more pleasing to me than the Montage... The Fantom is also a bit more powerful than the Montage - and has a better work flow for those who need it. I just came down to the sounds. [/QUOTE]
