	I have seen (and played) the new (?) Yamaha DX-21 synthesizer
at a local dealer's for $795.  While i'm not really enamored of the
Yamaha FM-based timbre (being an old Moog fanatic), i am extremely
tempted to get one of these creatures, considering that the list
price is the same as my first keyboard --- a Vox Continental portable
organ (and that was 1967 dollars!).  So what i would like to know is:


	-  Has anyone who is familiar with higher-end synths tried the
		DX-21, and what did you think?

	-  How does it compare to the DX-7?

	-  Will i ever find anything else near this good for this price?

Thanks,
