If you're comparing rack to rack it may be a bit tighter comparison, but again I love the Motif sounds over the Fantom, at least for traditional instrument mimickery.
When I bought the actual Fantom keyboard I did what I always try not to do, and that is buy for bells and whistles. I did a ton of research on Motif, Fantom, Korg and did read that yes the Fantom 'has the most advanced sound engine blah blah' and was practically ready to go in and just buy it.
But when I got to the store I was floored to listen to all the keyboards and find that the Fantom sounded the worst (thin and blanketed are the adjectives that come to mind, but this is in the splitting hairs sense since these are all high end keyboards). But I figured maybe it's the monitors they're using at the store or the keyboard needs some settings adjustments, and I let the hyped feature set and color screen sell me on it and I still walked out of the store with one that day.
However upon getting it home it became apparant that the sounds were just lackluster, and I couldn't get the sounds of the Motif that I heard out of my head, so the Fantom had to go back.
