Don't even touch the JV880 unless you can live without polyphony,
decent samples and effects. It comes with about 3 sounds, you'll have to
expand it to make it usable..
The 1080 is just way too expensive, for that kind of money you should be
able to buy a real synth. 
Roland is trying real hard to sell the same synth over and over again in
different boxes, they should think about improving it a little to get my
money.
The Alesis S4+ maybe not perfect, it's just beats everything under $1000.
It's the first synth that offers 64 voice polyphony (you need it for
sequencing
and for two hand performances), 20 MB high quality linear samples, Alesis
effects and drums, and a user interface, that actually makes sense (first
time in the history of synths)
I'd give it a try.
