Thanks for all your helpful responses. I have a Jupiter 6 and I love the sound (except for the clicky envelopes) but I'm leaning towards trading it in for the MKS80 because it is a rackmount.

So Rev 4 uses Curtis chips (SN before 511800=curtis chips), Rev 5 uses custom Roland chips.

I've heard the rev 4 is preferrable. Is this true? amino you say that rev 5 may have less "clicky"sound. can anyone confirm this?

I just realized MKS80 doesnt have an arpeggiator. I guess I could use my sequencer's arpeggiator, but I really like the Jupiter 6 Europa apeggiator. Still leaning towards the MKS80...
