In the interest of keeping things compact, I think it's much better to have 
one keyboard (reasonably versitile, maybe with a sequencer, etc.) and a 
bunch of modules.  I have 3 full-size keyboards right now (well, 3 that 
work- Ensoniq EPS, Keytek CTS-2000, and Casio HT-6000) and I have to say 
that the lack of space presents a bit of a problem.  For me at least, I 
don't think there's much benefit of having two big keyboards (and the midi 
complexity that goes with it) unless you're playing live or something and 
need access to more sounds (or you just want to look cool on stage).

I don't know how well the D-10 works as a controller, but I don't think the 
VZ-1 is the best in that department (nice keyboard, but no local off, if I'm 
not mistaken).

Anyway, as for the D-10, from what I've read, it's not badl, BUT I would 
strongly reccomend the Kawai K4 (or K4m) as an alternative- it's a similar 
package, but more versitile synthesis-wise.
