I said 'the board' which was meant to mean not much love for the MKS80 over several threads so far, not particularly this one.

No one said it had to sound 80s either, where did that come from LOL

No one has said otherwise and it's been painted as a typically 80's sounding synth:

I'm not upset by these comments or anything, just trying to keep a balance in the debate. The MKS80 sounds much more analogue to my ears than the talk so far has implied. I've never needed outboard (eq and compression) to get the best out of it either and I don't think it sounds much at all like the Prophet VS (I've owned and played both).
I can't add much more to the debate as I've never owned a Jupiter 6. However, if the 6 has an arpeggiator, that would be a plus IMO. The Roland arpeggiators are great.
