Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

The TX81z has similar sounds to the DX7, but I often hear the DX7 sounds 
warmer, which I, being a former owner of both, agree. This is apparently 
due to the 4-operator (oscillators?) architecture of the TX81z, while 
the DX7 has 6 operators (per voice). If you want to warm it up a bit you 
can always add some chorus or OD/distortion to it.
Also, the TX81z has 8-voice polyphony and it's a module, a keyless 
version of the DX11.
According to vintagesynth.com, the sounds of the CZ series are very 
similar to those on the DX line. (I never really played a CZ, only heard 
some samples. I'll eventually buy one of those cute CZ101's, hehehe)
