The JV-2080 is everything you could expect from a modern sound module, but more! A massive 64 voice multitimbral performance module that strives to offer the best all-around features for creating new and vintage sounds for any musical style. Excellent acoustic sounds of all instruments both common and ethnic. A massive amount of techno sounds complete with pulses, blips, sweeps, and the ever popular LFO, VCF and VCA type controls for patch editing and real-time editing. The 2080 is extremely expandable with room for 8 sound cartridges from the JV-80 series, as well as a data card slot. The 2080 has 5 excellent effects processors too, including the new EFX processors. Verb, delay, panning effects, chorus, flange, etc... It is used by many artists from all styles including Todd Terry, Max Graham, Richard Barbieri, Mike Oldfield, LTJ Bukem, ATB, and Hardfloor.

The 2080 is much better than 1080, huge graphic display, 8 SR-JV80 expansion slots vs. 4, 3 effects processors. I had both, sold 1080 to get 2080, now use it with A-90 controller, awesome combo. Decimal patch numbering is a big relief, not the stupid 8x8 bank-patch matrix. In my opinion in live work it sounds as good as SuperNATURAL samples from newer Fantoms and JP-80/50 (you may hear some differences under studio microscope, but who cares? You'll be using samples libraries and soft synths for recording anyway) For live fork or film scoring it's still one of the best synths ever made!

Just bought a JV-1080. Not sure that the 2080 adds much except more effects. Looks to have the same sound engine and features at a much higher price.
Is there much difference between the two units?

@Alex. Thats what I suspected. Not much point then, think I'll look in to some Novation instead.
Thanks
