Why not pretend the piano sounds are not there. Will the Electro rack not then be just like the VOCE. Then you can regard the piano sounds as very playable extras!

I'm sure the sounds are incomparable, but I doubt that it would work
for me in its current incarnation. No splits or layers are
possible, and the board is not 88-key weighted. In my blues/RB gigs
I need piano/horns or /pads splits or layers in just about every
song. And coming from a classical and jazz piano background, I
can't feel inspired or expressive playing either acoustic or epianos
with an unweighted, less than 88 keyboard.

For me it seems there's only one kind of setup: one soft synth board
for the Hammond part, and another weighted 88 dedicated to
pianos/clav/horns/pads/etc. Right now the non-Hammond sounds of the
Electro rack would not be very useful to me because of the
split/layer issue, and because they do not include the highest
quality horns, strings, and pads.

If Nord made a V5-like module with just the Hammond sounds and
Leslie sim, maybe I would start salivating . . . . The rest I guess
will have to wait until they are packaged in a more flexible way.
