Hi Florian! So last night, i did what I said I would do. I looked up videos and am impressed on the capabilitys of the high end PSRs750 and S950 series. So this comes down to what are you doing a lot of? From what it seems like, the PSR is a great board, still for arranging, composing, and experimenting while the MOX is the mini studio out of the box. You get a 16 track sequencer, with parameters to tweeque your sounds, to different modes, both pattern and song mode, and lots of crazy features. Are you doing more live recording? Sampling? What is your main purpose? Do you play in a band? I ask this because both of these are good boards, but I want you to get the best bang for your buck without losing any features you might need, got me? I love the Motif series, always have and always will. Holds a huge spot in my heart. I just love the thickness of Yamaha's sounds in general. I love the pattern mode on the Motif, but the audio recording into the PSR is great. Being able to play with midi and audio files? Sonds awesome! Also, which one do you like the feel of. Most likely this keyboard will be play most of the time because it'll be your only one, so what feels good on your fingers? Do you have audio equipment to hook u your MOX too? I believe the PSR's have speakers, the MOX doesn't. So be mindful of that. You're going to need studio monitors or a keyboard amp. I hope i'm helping you out here. I just want to feel out what you're doing so that I can recommend the best choice for you because after looking up videos last night, both boards look fantastic. Take care!
