DX7 OWNERS!

I have agonized over which keyboard I should buy and I am down to
the wire. I have decided on the DX7. I have a few concerns after a
discussion with a salesperson. They tell me that splitting the
DX7 is not easy. What I want to do is program the left side of the
split for bass and the right side for all the other stuff.  The
question I have is does this split have to be programmed for each
patch that is stored? I guess what I am hearing is that it is not
possible to bring up one patch and assign it to the left side of
the split and assign the right hand side of the split another patch.
Ok! if that is not possible when one is in program mode can different
timbres be created for each side of the split and then stored and
fetched as one entity ready to be played. What the salesperson
told me was this is possible but very difficult. Why? Also what I
was told is that say your dealing with a brass patch and want brass
on one side of the split and bass on the other side all you can do
is change the texture of the brass to sound deeper (ie. go from a 16'
to 32'). Is this the right keyboard for a keyboard player that is also
the bass player in the group? Does a DX7 plus TX7 make the solution
easier? I thank anyone in advance who can help with answers.
