I've owned both.
The MKS-80 is good, but make sure it's the rev. 4 and not rev. 5.
Very different sounding synths as they have different VCO's & VCF's.
I know there's a guy who makes a really good software editor for the MKS-80, but it is designed for Logic only.

The Pro-One is dope, but has a few things holding it back compared to the MKS-80.
A) It's mono-phonic
B) No memory for patches!!!

Like I said, if it's a rev. 4 MKS-80 - grab it, otherwise you're pretty sorted for mono-synths with the MS-20.
