I agree on that, I believe you're trying to say that the Jupiter 6 is to the Juno 106 what Neptune is to Venus. The Juno 60 and Jupiter 8 are more punchy than the Jupiter 6 and Juno 106, esp. in the low end, but they are all great synths and the latter has a sound that often sits better in the mix. For this reason, the J8 and J60 are more like players boards (if you exclude the fact that the 8 can be very unrealiable and weights quite a bit), and the 106 and J6 more programmers synths. These can also sound phat, mind you, but largely due to the filters, they don't have to, but excel at trippin, swirling sweeps and strings, and blip blops (not a very scientific describtion, I know). IMO the Jupiter 6 is the very best of them, so if you are to pick one, I highly recommend it be the J6. If you're a programmer, you'll eventually get bored of the others at some point, this holds true for the J8 also, because of the filter (not multimode) and the fact that you can't choose multiple waveforms for the osc as can be done on the J6. The Jupiter 8 is the eight voice giant, though, and unlike the others its rare, and will become increasingly more valuable over time if kept in good condition. There are about 8 times as many J6 around as that of the Jupiter 8 (2500). This, and not the 2 xtra voices, is the reason why it is so costy in comparison. You didn't know that, did you?
