First video i have seen that does a side by side comparison of the JP-08 and the Jupiter 8
It is in German but the playing of the 2 synths side by side the sound is almost identical.

It is not German, it is Danish. Huge difference. :)

Anyway, it's a short video so I have translated what he says here:

Roland Boutique
The first comparison
Part 1

Hi and welcome.

My name is Nicolai. I am from Proffshoppen(.com) and this is a special day. I have received 3 new synths from Roland. The so-called Boutique series. And I'm totally excited. In my own collection there are some classics. There is no doubt that the Jupiter 8 fills my heart the most. We're going to play with them a bit. This is just a small appetizer. We will go more in-depth later, but I have just received them an hour ago and I'm absolutely crazy about showing a little bit of them.

Some of the sounds that are programmed in the JP-08, as the new Jupiter 8 is called, are taken directly from the factory sounds of the Jupiter 8.

(1:00) A totally classic sound like JP Strings. We take the real one. This is the real Jupiter 8... This is the JP-08... As close as we can get, ladies and gentlemen.

(1:30) Let us try something else. Let's try brass. Sound number 35. We can try opening the filter. Resonance. This is f..ing close. Let's try another brass. Jupiter 8... JP-08...

We see the JP-08 has a click-on keyboard that one can get as an accessory. These are small modules and they are totally classic. Like the JX 3P that this one is built on (the JX-03). We all know the PG 200 programmer of the JX 3P. The real one is here. And it is possible, in the same way, to use the Boutiques as a form of controller on top of a piano or master keyboard or whatever. I'm totally excited.

This is a bit unpolished. It is very strong for me emotionally. But ladies and gentlemen. This is just insane.

There is a lot of new stuff (in the JP-08). There are delays and effects and more options with the oscillators, but I just wanted to show how close we have come to the real thing.
