I haven't played the Voce V5, so I can't tell about the sounds.

The thing that his interesting with the CX-3, is the degree of
customization you can achieve.
There are a lot of settings, which compares a bit to NI B4. Also, the setup
is simpler, as you
have an all in one solution (especially if you are moving your gear often).
You also get the
action, can save rapidly and easily some patches, two sets of drawbars, ....

For me, the difference between both is mainly a question of price. Either
you already
have a good setup and want to add Hammond sounds (Voce). Or, you mostly rely
on your Hammond sound (CX-3).

Sound wise, maybe the V5 + Pro-3T might be better... as I said, I haven't
compared.

Questions that can help...

a) What sound do you like the most?
b) Ergonomy (module vs board)
c) Budget
d) Setup time / weight

If you feel that b) and d) are important, you might go with the CX-3. A)
and C) are really personal.
