Tying this in to the CWSG thread, the Korg's "Hi Synth" engine can produce
some great (and very useable) B3 sounds and the Leslie effect is very good.
I tried a lot of different synthesizers at the time, and the Korg's worked
the best for me. It was just that later on, the CX-3 came out. Being a
former Hammond player, the layout as well as the sound & leslie sim
compelled me to get it and use the Karma for non-organ parts. The Electro
would do a much better job with those parts, in my opinion (especially if
Nord works a little more on the grand piano).
