Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

The VZs are closer in sound to the original FM synths that they share a
great deal of technology with, Yamaha's DX family etc.  The VZs for example
have 8 'modules' (operators in FM speak, or oscillators if you like) whereas
the CZ series have only two.  However the CZs are much closer to the
analogues that preceeded them- I think the CZs are more immediately warmer
and organic.  In any case they are different for certain and a VZ10m or VZ8m
certainly isn't a rackmount CZ.  From your description <crazy digital
freakout sounds, effects, and morphing sounds/evolving pads> I'd say you'd
be happier with a VZ but do give a CZ a listen if you can.

Don't yet have any Casio gear whatsoever.  I'm debating whether to get the
VZ-10M or the CZ-5000.  I'm a guitar controller player (*NOT* a guitarist)
that uses the Roland GR-33 to trigger external synths (primarily FM).  I can
get by on the keyboard, but it's just that, "getting by".  Sure it'll be in
key, but it'll be simple...

So which Casio has the greatest tonal capabilities?  I'm most interested in
crazy digital freakout sounds, effects, and morphing sounds/evolving pads...
