Yeah maybe, honestly I didn't use many Rolands back in the daybut I did spend a fair amount of time deep in the belly of the DX7, inspired by the fact that Eno made it sound so fucking great. It was fiddly and unpredictable but totally worth it.
The setup I have now makes everything easy and is pretty much unlimited in scope, and I never know what the fuck to do with it. Limitations and difficulties work for me.

This last bit, definitely.I find I get the most gut-based inspiration from doing things like taking a kids' pound-shop keyboard (pulled out of a skip) and plugging it into a bunch of guitar effects, then tweaking things. This worked best when the batteries in the keyboard were nearly dead, and the distortion stage was picking up Radio 4.
If I try to get the same sort of immediacy from a stack of very-nice-sounding-and-infinitely-adjustable synths / softsynths, there's just too much to mess with.
