I once dropped an AN1X on my foot and it hurt, so in terms of foot damage I would rather own a Jp8000 as its got 1 less octave, so it must weigh less, therefore not breaking your toes when it falls off your quickloc when your pissed.
As for surface area, the an1x is better for skinning up without getting any of your shit stuck in all the control knobs.

I'm selling my car to buy a synth, I reckon i'll be able to get £1,000, My main focus is hardhouse/techno i've been finding out a lot about the JP8000 but i'm still waiting for my local muso shop to get one in, as you can imagine before I go spending a shed load of money i'd like to make sure i'm getting value. Any help on this matter would be grately appreiciated.

you'll need more than the JP8000 for a minimal techno setup. It is a 2 voice, 8 part multitimbral. This means it can only play 2 instruments at any one time - and it does not have any real percussion sounds ( though you can create them yourself with this synth - but very tedious to try a generate a decent percussion set ). You'll need something like a Quasimidi 309 . This a complete percussion and bass/lead synth in one box. Great for beginner - if you can afford both, then you are onto a winner. I have both a Q309 and JP8000 and i luv em.
