I wonder if any of you folk could clear this up...

I have a Z1 and recently I've been spending some time wondering round the Net, reading up on the thing. The thing I don't get is this- it seems to me that on the one hand, there's a whole bunch of guys saying that the synth can create really "unique sounds" (those precise words keep appearing on just about every review I've read) BUT, on the other hand, there seems to be a never ending bunch of folk who say that the Triton (and I think even the Trinity too!) have the same chips as the Z1 and can therefore produce exactly the same sounds as the Z1 AND MUCH MORE!

So, suddenly it seems that the Z1 maybe isn't quite so unique after all!

Can anyone shed any light on this? I mean, do Tritons have the same sounds (presets) as the Z1 plus a whole bunch more OR are Tritons merely *capable* of sounding like a Z1 if you spend time programming them yourself?

And so comes the ultimate Z1 question of all...

In 20 years time will we look back on the Z1 with the same reverance that we now have for Moogs, Juno 106's, MS20's and the likes? OR- will regard the Z1 as being just some cheap and nasty toy for people who couldn't afford Tritons???
