What's the difference between the Motif ES6 and ES8?

What's actually the difference between the Yamaha Motif ES6 and Motif ES8 ? Is it just the keys themselves, or is it another sound eninge/ different sounds etc. ?

thanks

just size..
ES6= 61keys (like ES7=76) has synth-action keys.
ES8= 88 keys, hammer-weighted keys (just like a real piano), ideal for playing pianos.. some ppl prefer the feel of weighted keys.. and about $600 more expensive and much heavier!

Ok but the sound is completely the same? How is actually the functions/ sounds of the Motif ES rack, compared to the keyboard versions? (except the keys obviously)

yea same sound engine on ES6, 7 and 8.
the rack has also the same sound engine but is missing the Sequencer and the Sampler of the Keyboard version.
