I think in FZ's case, it had more to do with the frustration of dealing
with orchestras than gear-wanking.  Especially since G-Spot played by
Ensemble Modern is one of the best Zappa moments ever.  Definitely the
ballsiest chamber work i've ever heard.  But he did have a tendency to
jump into new technology before it had really matured (the electronic
drums on the '84 tour, ewwww....but then again, a lot of people where
using those then.)
