Ok, more knobs and a bigger lcd would make it easier to program, but 
the Sid would also cost more.

I think that the Sid is easier to program than a microQ, which has a 
similar interface.
But, sure, the MD is a lot easier than both!

Well, send it back and stay with the Fizmo.

I have never tried a Fizmo, but could it be that you just don't like 
the Sid sound?
I love it and i don't think that it can be easily reproduced with other 
synths... may be the Fizmo can?
