MIDI in via Motif ES USB or MOTU Ultralite MK3 MIDI in

Hi,

which MIDI configuration do you suggest?

1. MIDI out from Yamaha Motif ES6 -> MOTU UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid MIDI in -> MacBook Pro 2012

or

2. USB MIDI from Yamaha Motif ES6 -> MacBook Pro 2012

Maybe it make no difference which one I choose. However, the following statement can be found on the MOTU site here:

"Sample-accurate MIDI — connect a MIDI controller and/or sound module with no separate interface needed. MIDI I/O is sample-accurate with supporting software."
