The money you save might go towards some audio equipment or lights etc.

I don't know as I only have the FX1 myself, I wouldn't think so as they
are both based on the same lens/CCDs etc. - in fact I'd be surprised if
there was any difference.

It's the features in the Z1 that would make it worth buying - there is
somewhere a comparison chart of the two cameras, I think it's on the
Sony web site, but I can't find it now. There are about 40 extra
features on the Z1.
