Just the form factor and aesthetics.

I think the keybed on the 37-note Polar is a general synth-action, so it's slightly different to the semi-weighted 61-note TI. - However, both still transmit velocity and aftertouch.

That's all there is to it.

Err... more keys. And you get this really neat bit of 'blank space' on the keyboard version, which is a handy place to put your computer keyboard. Otherwise, no difference in the synth engine, operating system etc.

Meaning Polar is less (since keyboard is the standard)

I own the Polar and while it looks amazing + fits just perfect in my small home studio, I have to admit that more than 1 time I wished I had 1 more octave to play with

The TI 61 key version uses a really high quality nice semi weighted action. The Polar uses more of a 'synth' action....spongier....plasticy......

The TI 61 key version is significantly larger and has more presence and wow factor - resale value is likely to be higher as people just wont want to spend the same kinda money on a 37 key version.

Thats the only real difference. Both have identicial synth engines

I would luuuuuurve a 49-note Polar Virus TI 2.

The extra keys will also make room for a ribbon controller/XY-pad and a proper joystick. Access, you know ya wanna!
