Sorry, can't think of a single thing.

In it's day (15 years ago) it was a better alternative than carrying a Fender Rhodes around, but look at the resurgance of the Rhodes today...the prices are going through the roof ! FM is bright, and thin - it was a refreshing change from the word of dark, muffled analog of the 70's and 80's. The DX really cut through a mix, but there are so many improvements today .... I honestly can't imagine playing one again. I used to like "one" electric piano, "one" bass and "one" organ...and except for that cool locomotive... there was nothing else that caught my ear.
All three of those sounds are readily available in today's synth engines.
