A Fantom or a Motif or Triton will have its intrinsic qualities and limitations (it sounds like itself!); but the Receptor, you can "change instruments" for literally less than $300. You can go from killer minimoogs to mellotrons to FM7s to Prophets, to CS80s for the cost of the software, and all more convincingly than with a Fantom or Motif (both of which I own and still love) or Triton.

Here's the "rub" with hardware - to upgrade your sound, you upgrade
the entire board. So you're kinda stuck between a rock and a hard
place with deciding which way to go. Lesser of two evils, I guess.
