because fairlight = $3000

casio cz = $100

Do you have a fairlight?  Wonderful.  Most do
not, so I'm looking for an alternative.

Kawai is not "musical" to my ears and is dead
when it comes to sound presense.  Yamaha DX7 is
too harsh and not as sweet as the CMI.  I still
think casio cz is best to imitate the fairlight.

any other suggestions?
