I think it comes down to using the piece of gear you are interested in. Roland marketed the MKS-80 as a jupiter, and really took some designs and features of the jupiter 6's and 8's and tried to put them into one box. Obviously to me, it sounds different than jupiter 8 (have one) or a 6 but it still has a quality sound that most people will like, and can do alot of the types of sounds the jupiter can.

As far as the Juno 60, its not a jupiter, but it is the fattest sounding juno out there. In my opinion (and I used one for years) its much bigger sounding than the juno 106. With that being said, all Roland boards to me have that "mid bass character", so in some ways you can get those types of bass sounds on most of there boards. The jupiter series will shine for efx, and pads, stab type sounds, especially the Jupiter 8, its the best Roland I have ever heard, and I have owned most of them at one point. In the end it doesn't matter if you think it sounds like something, if it sounds good to you than you got something you like and can use.
