with the size of the 760 (I have owned a few 760's over the years). I
was thinking about going back to the real deal (in a smaller
package).

After playing with a 760 & the KBR, you would be very disappointed
with the sound of the 860 IMO. It does not have the "122/147" sound
that the 760 does (somewhat) & the KBR more closely copies them as
well. If you want the "real deal" in a small, light-weight package,
consider the Pro3T & LowPro. Together they'll run around $1200
online. Easy to move because the cabinet is two pieces (fits in my
car) & the sound is as close as you can get IMO. After all, it is
true mechanical rotation for treble & bass & it's very adjustable
regarding speed of accel/deccel & fast/slow. I'm really happy with
the sound from mine & I run my Xm-1 module into it, but I also use it
as a second "Leslie", paired with a 770 (760 in wood case) from my
'38 Hammond BC.
Try to hear either one before you buy it though. As Bruce said
earlier, YMMV.
