"In the '80's, combining a Solina stringer with a Small Stone phaser was the way to go.
That's our take on it - please ignore the date and price as we haven't decided if and when we will build this recreation."

Remember, with the CS80 it's not just about the synth engine - it's about the interface and instrument as a whole. And... It not just about the visual/functional interface, it's how it feels - the specific feel of the aftertouch, pivoting, sliders, and how the synth engine responds to that. See the following posts for some perspective on that:
