and
KORG 01 7 Wfd (350$)
I can spend 1000$ but as I said I am guitar player and don't know much about
keyboards and synths.

Btw, it's Rhodes.

I enjoyed my DX7 for more than 15 years. Learned a great deal about that synth as Yamaha provided a plethora of instructional material and I bought a few "easy to do" books.
But, in 15 years the technology has really advanced in the sound/patch department.
I plugged in a new Yam Motif and put my DX7 in its case. There is a tremendous quality difference when recording from the Motif. The Motif has more stuff on it, in it, and around it to keep me hunting and pecking for a long, long time.
As long as I'm posting, anyone know of any "easy to do" books regarding the Yam Motif series? I haven't found any yet.
If I were you, I'd pass on the DX7 and get a newer synth.
