Take care for one small detail (if you got used to JP-6). On MKS-80's oscillators you can not select all waveforms at the same time. This is a big difference soundwise, specially if you applied PWM to one of them.
Second thing. You might find inspiring the "new" feature on MKS-80 called bass booster, however it will NOT cure the major problem - loss of level as you increase the resonance.

This is simply not true. Jupiter 8 and MKS-80 are COMPLETELY different synthesizers. In oscillator section they have absolutely NOTHING in common. Not a single chip! Although they share the same filter chip IR3109, its design is again different, with JP-8 offering the 12 dB mode - and that is from where majority of famous Jupiter 8 sounds come from.
