I own two DX7 synths and love them. They are very misunderstood, really. One myth is that they're difficult to program, this isn't true; they're just different to program. Analog synths are easier to program because they have all the parameters available as pots (a good thing!), however they are massively simpler in parameters than a DX7, where you have basically (per voice): 6 oscillators, 6 envelope generators (each with 8 parameters), 2 LFO, and features like feedback, keyboard scaling, etc. More parameters, thus more laborious programming IF you want to do complex sounds. The other myth is that the sound is horrible. This all depends on programming and it doesn't help that most of the DX7 original patches were horrible.
