If I buy the "one keyboard does it all" - or most of the bread & butter
sounds I need - then if the simulator is decent, I've got to go with it. I
don't think they created this board for guys who haul Leslies or Motion
Sound cabinets.

I had purchased the Pro3T before deciding I'd get the CX3. After using the
CX3 for a while I decided to bring back the Pro3T. For the tiny bit better
distortion from the tube preamp, it wasn't worth the extra trouble to
setup/mike/balance. I put that money into a second Mackie SRM450 and I'm
very happy to hear to my CX3 in stereo.
