Ease of Use
 :
8
This unit can be tricky to program but that's the nature of FM synthesis. The presets are good starting points for your own sounds. The manual is clear but doesn't provide that much insight.
Features
:
9
This unit has got 8 note polyphony, is 16 part multitimbural but has no effects (it's old). I've seen a 5 times memory expander and some other goodies available for it in the back of some keyboard mags. Good MIDI implementation for when it came out. You can create your own non-standard tunings as well.
Expressiveness/Sounds
:
9
FM sounds are great for cold industrial textures. I love my TX81Z but I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for "realistic" sounds. It responds to pitch bend, modulation and breath control (and possibly aftertouch - I don't remember).
Reliability
:
10
This rack is totally dependable.

C'mon, it's old! =)
Overall Rating

A totally cool unit if you like making messed up sounds.
