It's quite likely that GP moved onto the Z80, as it seems the original designer of the Softy had on the Dataman S3. But not sure if he was involved in the design of the GP Electronics (E)P4000 and then the later series as well - or that they just supplied the Softy-1 units.

The Stag PP39 certainly did use the Z80, from lots of detailed pictures and info, here: http://matthieu.benoit.free.fr/Stag_PP39_programmer.htm
Where its quite 70's Brown & Orange can be seen (Rather than Stag's usual Mustard/Yellow)
