Well the motif line is mostly all there is, xf, xs, eS, classic, and the other variations like the moX, the mo, mm, and racks. But truely speaking the full keyboards are the workstations. Regarding accessibility, as it's been with all these things, you just have to explore and learn on your own/figure things out. But if you learn the keyboard itself by reading the manual and such the rest should get smoother with time, specially if you know how a motif works. I don't think accessibility has changed much, in terms of: yamaha doesn't have wrapping menus, the menus are divided into pages with only so many levels, Many items are still in similar areas, button layout is streightforward etc. The only reason the eS was considered as accessible as people call it is because of all the work that Bryan Smart, GF, Drizza and others have put into it to explain things, make tutorials etc. But once you take that knoledge and bring it o whatever workstation you're using in the motif line, you'll be well on your way there. I actually own an eS, but have been able to used the classic, xs and xf with no problem afterwards, because I learned the structure and such of the motif. So i think for any of these other boards, it comes down to getting up to date with the changes, reading the manual, and start diving in! If you mess something up, just press utility, job, enter and yes to restore it back to default settings! Of course, this completely depends on how much you know of the way the motif works and how deep into your eS you can get.

It depends how much work you're willing to put into it, what you call accessible, and what features you want in the keyboard. Do you mean synthesizer/workstation line (motif, s90), high-end arrangers (tyros, psr s900/910), low-end portable/arrangers (psr e423, e223) or stage pianos (like the clavinova series)?
