I have been shopping around for a good synth for a beginner.  I have a
tiny bit of experience working with synths -- I played extensively with a
micromoog once, ~6 years ago.  Now, I am looking for something that will
have lots of flexibility for interesting sounds, polyphonic, and a touch
sensitive keyboard.  Two that I am looking at seriously are (1) Casio CZ5000,
and (2) Korg DW8000.  Does anyone have anything to say about these? I'm
interested in something around $1000.  I've also got a Mac, so I'm looking
for something Midi-able and something that might be able to use the Mac as
a patch librarian.  I know I can do the latter with the Casio + Mac, but
can I do it with the Korg?  Is the Casio's sequencer or Korg's digital delay
particularly advantageous?

Please mail me responses;  If people are interested I can summarize to the
net.  Thanks mucho in advance!!
