I had one and in some ways I too wish I hadn't gotten rid of mine. Much maligned by some, but for me a rather useful board for composing. I would rate it somewhat lower for a live playing situation but only because I didn't like all of the styles ( some were pretty decent though ) and there was no vocal harmony option. The arpeggiator definitely IS cool on that board though. The sequencer edit screen was by far easier to understand and more intuitive to use than either my Pa80 or the PSR line. I did actually use the MZ though for a couple of impromtu gigs along side my 740 because it had jammin' lead guitar, synth, and sax sounds. Organs weren't bad at all either. It's pretty packed with other useful features too. If you fool around and modify them enough though, the styles can also be made to be pretty good. Style editing seemed easier and more user friendly ( to make them sound good at any rate ) on the MZ than any other arranger I've ever owned or tried. Casio came so close with this board, but didn't follow up or try at all to improve on it afterwards. It actually got some fairly warm reviewws in a couple of the keyboard magazine. I agreed wholeheartedly with one reviewer that ended by saying that he'd like to see Casio take the best sounds from this board, add a few more, and launch a whole new range of synths. LOL... Dan, I remember that you were joking with me last year ( good naturedly of course ) about Casio watches, but now I think you can see for yourself the potential this board has.
