The DecStation (DecWindows) is still (ULTRX 4.1) X11R3 based.  Dec has hacked Motif 1.1 to run with its server.  If your application is targeted at DecStations, then by all means, use the DEC product.  If you build and install X11R4, then you will need to build Motif 1.1 for yourself also.

The Motif distribution comes with a number of postscript files representing the complete documentation set, as well as all of the pieces in troff format.  It is quite well done.
