Newbie needs help about synthesisers

I want to generate microtonal music (31-TET, to be precise) with a Mac. Can
anyone give me some advice (i) which sequencer software and (ii) which
synthesiser is most appropriate for this? Is it true that the old Yamaha
DX-7 is one of the very few synths that are able to do microtonal music, in
contradistinction to most newer models? I have been offered an old DX-7 for
about $400, so is this a bargain, or is it more advisable to buy a newer
model?
(BTW, I am not at all interested in weird sound effects!)

Please reply to my email address (funck@umnw.ethz.ch), not to the list.

Thanks a lot in advance
