The original JV-1080 choked at 24 voices. A single layered pad could use 4 voices, leaving you only 6 notes. A SoundFont hosted on a modern computer gives you 256+ voices. No more note-stealing during complex chord progressions.
Most high-quality JV-1080 SoundFonts are "sampled through" high-end gear. This means the samples were recorded through vintage preamps, tube compressors, or high-fidelity converters. In many cases, these samples have more "weight" and "analog warmth" than the surgically clean digital code of the official plugin. If you want the grit of a 90s workstation, a SoundFont recorded through a Neve console might actually sound "better" to your ears.
