     Pronouncing SCSI as "sexy" seems terribly unnatural to me.  It think
it's for the same reason we pronounce BLT as "blit" and not "bilt": SC,
like BL, is a natural combination of consonants that one doesn't tend to
break up with vowels.  Therefore, "scuzzy" (or "scizzy") appears in my
mind to be the "right" pronunciation (emphasis on the quotation marks).
Put me down for "scuzzy", because a schwa seems like the right vowel to 
use.  All this is, of course, opinion.
