That's probably correct. Most people have only used it's little bro's 
without the additional features the CZ-1 offers. Anyhow, studios 
nowadays consist of a computer and a desk. CZ-1's are big and costly to 
post and take up a lot of room. Unless you are prepared to use its 
superior features, what's the point. If you want bog standard PD/FM 
sounds a controller plus sizer which fits on your computer desk the 
CZ101, 1000 are perfect. If your a CZ-1 owner then you'll know it's 
more fool them! I've seen CZ3000/5000 units go for double the CZ-1's 
advertised. I still think it's the best Casio ever made to date. Even 
better than the VZ range and I've got one of those too. Let's face it 
they're so rare and so little was ever published about them that unless 
you've used one you'll not know what your missing.
