Kronos: WAY more fun than a girlfriend and you STILL get to keep your soul!

BTW: What is the sexist language about Jupiter being King?? Man, Eleanor of Acquitaine, Isabella of Spain, and Victoria would have some issues with that!

Kronos is the MONARCH of workstations and Jupiter SEEMS to be (I haven't played one) in the running with Kurzweil for MONARCH of performance synths. ;)

Sorry but as a Kurz user I am NOT crying. In fact Kronos and PC3 have fallen in love and I couldn't be happier.
Current gear: Kronos, Jupiter 80, Kurzweil PC3,Roland Fantom X8, Roland XV-88 (yep, its old, but the ACTION is heaven and those XV-3080 sounds are still wonderful for me), Radias-R, Motif ES (yeah it's older but I love the guitars ;) )

Overkill on acoustic piano... sounds, needs more electronic style (Trance, Dance, HipHop, House) sounds.
