Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Yep: casio should do a 'reface' like yamaha did and update the classic retro machines and correct the faults.
An rz with a working backlight, better sampling time and quality with usb stick sample/pattern memory!?
There's so much scope: why the heck keep making loads of gm keyboards when the retro ones are so sought after?
Great idea.
