Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I feel it would be almost impossible to get a CZ to sound as good as DX7 I 
have both by the way.  I love my CZ, but the DX7 is a much better instrument 
overall especially performance wise.  The CZ on the other hand is good at 
experimenting and gives you easier control over producing your own sounds. 
If anyone has ever tried to make sense of the  DX7 they quickly realize how 
incredibly difficult it is to program!!
