Thanks for all your responses. I'm surprised to hear some really good things have been said about the TX81z (on here and other forums) about its ability to get some very nice sounds even though it's a 4 op system.

After Christmas, what I'll probably wind up doing is just being patient and careful and from ebay try to a tg77, but if a great deal on a tx802 comes along, well that's what I'll go for. Which ever comes up with a great deal first. Looks like the FS1r is fetching $500-$600, a little too high for me. Maybe in the future I'll consider adding a TX81z. I mean used, these things aren't really going to break the bank ya know? But I think I can safely say the TX7 is out.

Peace and thanks again
Bob
