Me too.

Iv'e been lusting for the vintage epianos, and seem convinced through
trying them out, listening to samples, & also reading posts, the Nord
is the best thing out there for vintage epianos. There may be cheaper
options, but I'd rather wait and get it right the first time than
settle for second best. Likewise, thats how definately how I feel
about a Hammond clone as I gave up the real thing. So I revisited the
notion of getting the Nord for both vintage epiano & Hammond because
its very close on the Hammond side and far cheaper than keeping the
CX-3 and the Nord. The nord, in my mind, even has better
Chorus/Vibrato, definately better amp simulation, and a more
compressed sound for at least some applications. But the CX-3
(especially with the mellow drawbars and somehow even better Leslie
sim, as well as other usefull tweaks in v2.0) just seems to damn
authentic (sans amp) to walk away from. This is even before
considering its controls, layout, look, and overall feel. Thats why
I'm going to get the Electro rack & definately keep the CX-3 as my
primary Hammond, damn the cost of doing it right!
