I remember buying an FZ-1 when they were being blown out (like most of my synths at the time). It sounded really good and was relatively easy to do simple sampling, but the UI especially on that postage stamp sized grey LCD made it hard to do much else. I actually had a lot more fun with my stone age Ensoniq Mirage. That whole era was one of good sounding ROMplers with nearly impenetrable software (I'm especially remembering my K1000s).
