Maybe we misunderstood. Having JP-8 in the topic, the JP-8000 sounds plastic compared to it, that's a fact. I actually know JP-8000 inside out, even discovered a bug no one else before did (
see here).
I was commenting the real thing vs Roland's current policy, and the amount of people who can't tell the difference. How could they, when they never had access to "real thing". There are something like 1500 fully working Jupiter 8s on this planet covered with 6.5 billion people. The probability you will even have a chance to see one, are getting smaller and smaller. This is the card Roland is playing on. When you got no reference point you are destined to use the existing position.

As of "thick" JP-8080. Ha! I'd say it's like talking big tits without trying double F's.
Join the club first, boys! This goes for OurDarkness as well. Get some 2 VCO polyphonic analog. Be it a P5, Xa, JP-6, A-6, JP-8, whatever. Spend some time with these instruments, then sit in front of JP-8080 and tell me it sounds "thick". I buy you a sixpack - if you call it THICK.
OT:
I remember back in something like 1995 when the first VSTi came out included with the Cubase. Till that point all i had was ESQ-1 and JV-1080. Anyway, i was blown away into pieces when i heard how THICK and FAT that soft synth sounded.
And then one day i played the JP-8...
