Good luck...

The JP-8000 lead you speak of is one of the most overused synths in trance, and EVERYBODY and their mother is using it. Thankfully if it continues, it will die out in another year or two (hopefully).

There are a few tracks out there that lack it that I dig, but many might rail on as being boring (because it lacks that lead/sound):

Carlo Resoort - O'Class
Octagen & Arizona - Profound
Capetown - Pitstop
System F - Needlejuice
Andain - Beautiful Things [Josh Gabriel Mix]
Aftercast - Solar Guerilla
Rene Van Dijk - Memory Lane
Firewall - Sincere
DJ Danjo & Rob Styles - On The Verge
Outback - Minds In Motion
Hatrixx - Miss You [Kobbe & Fabb'X Remix]
Dejure - Sanctuary [Warrior Remix]

There are a couple others that are coming out this week that impressed me as being quite unique. I think one was the new one on Captivating Sounds and to a lesser extent the new on on ASOT (the label).

np

Most of these are stuff I stock at a record shop just north of ya in Madison, WI if you're ever in need of tunes on vinyl.

Also, I gotta club night up here where you can hear stuff like I mentioned, if you're ever heading north (and are 21+). Check the Local Scene forums for the Detroi/Chicago/N. Central forums for the downlow.
