Claudiu, thanks! Nice to see you there as well.

Eric, I would say that the Fantom in general is easier to program compared with the Motif ES; moreover, the Fantom XR has a sampler, which is lacking in the Motif ES rack, so in theory you could load your own sounds in it.
On the Roland US website ( www.rolandus.com ) you can find demo's of almost everything, including videos.
