Please participate in this poll, so hopefully Korg can consider this in their next design (I didn't include Oasys, because that is a different class and price)!
I personally would vouch for the Karma's super-sexy maroon and black chassis, but I don't know how well that would look with a color touchscreen like on the M3!
The worst chassis design, imho, goes to the M3. However, I like the fact that there is a separate module that you can use with other keyboards, which is indeed convenient. I would like to see Korg always introduce a module like that in addition to keyboards in the future. Summarizing: M3 - good concept, bad chassis.
Korg design: which is best?

"Korg simply makes the best sounding synths. Thank you Katoh and the rest!"

I vote M3 cause the ability to raise the screen and workspace to an angel is a must in my opinion. And I don't think it looks cheap just because it's different from any other workstation out there.

The M3 isn't going to pick up any more dirt or dust than other keyboards in my studio.
Actually, my M3 looks a lot cleaner than any of them.
M3, Triton Classic, Radias, Motif XS, Alesis Ion
+1 !!!!Lack of Trinity in this poll isn't fair, IMO too.
The Trinity is by far the best design ever !!!!.
No paint at all, easy to clean, and hard to get dirty.
Regards.
Sharp.

I have had the Classic, Studio, Extreme and M3.
I think the Studio is the best looking, and most solidly built synth to date from Korg!

I have a Triton Studion and the M3M (w/Radias board). I agree about the TS being a solid build.
I love the M3M because it's lighter than a Les Paul with enough horsepower to generate hours of grooves live. With just the pads and touch screen if you wanted. I'm grateful that I'm able to have both workstations, they complement each other.
But I sometimes still miss my old M1.
