Well, dispite the fact that Kurzwells were used by a lot of big pros and musicians they developed a reputation for being unreliable, full of software bugs, and other crap too.
I personally love the sound of those synths, but I'm glad I no longer have to use kurzwell gear.
But reliability (more lack of it) was also an issue with synths like the Yamaha CS80 and Waldorf PPG synths. Dispite the issues those synths were heavily used and even inspired software developers like Steinberg and Arturia to create their software versions.

Grooveboxes are just as tek said - CRAP.
JD800...Well it's been considered vintage since the book "Vintage Synthesizers" came out. Definitely a cool synth. But I like the JD990 better. No faders, but other killer features.

A few years from now we might see...
Virtual JD800 or may be even virtual K2000.
Sounds funny now, but you never know!
