Jim,
NADA! I just hated the S80 piano even with the expansion board,
also I didn't care much for the action on the S80 for my hand! But
the other sounds on the S80 I actually thought were pretty good! I
really liked the rhodes and wurly stuff on the S80 and the exp. board.
Also the strings, horns and synth sounds I thought were actually
pretty strong.. But I'm not useing alot of that stuff these days,
well maybe the Rhodes / Wurlys....
But back to the point. The P-250 does have really useable Rhodes
and wurlys and clavs ....but the more synth, ethnic, horns and
strings etc etc....I think the S80 is probably stronger. The P-250
has a General Music section of 400+ patches....I haven't spent alot
of time in there but my feeling is that the S-80 sounds may be
stronger.... I think the modulation routings on the S80 are deeper
if I'm not mistaken and that actually makes a big difference coupled
with some of those S80 samples.
