Biggest mistake I ever made was buying the original Motif. Fortunately it was my employer's money at the time for my use in their lab, but what an enormous headache.

Sounded great. Logic in the UI and the manual simply alien to me.

Never again.

Yamaha low-end mixers. Everyone in the world that uses a mixer, knows what the mute button is for on a channel. Yamaha - they have to put an 'on' button in their stuff. I'm guessing their high end stuff has proper mute buttons, but their entry level stuff - even up to the 32 channel board I used to have to use to mix with at the church I was going to "ON" button.

Was very tempted to pick up a Yamaha bass a couple weeks back from local classifieds. Problem: Yamaha doesn't put their model number anywhere on their basses except for a sticker (which of course doesn't stick on if the person is using the instrument regularly).

rharv, I realize that this didn't help you at all. In my best Bill Clinton voice, with my thumb nestled in the corner of my index finger and the other fingers- "I feel your pain".
