Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Okay, just to make my previous statement of not buying a third keyboard
I got in the funny situation where somebody proposed me a Kawai K-1
(don't know if it's mkII or not...) for USD.
If somebody could tell me about this synth from user point of view
I would be happy. Also, how "good" is to have a synth with 8 bit D/A
converters....
(btw: nobody could answer my question about the D/A converter bit depth
in Casio CZ-1 ????)
And how special is the sound ? Especially for techno, dnb, break, hip-hop
and
before all AMBIENT music ...
