NE 61 vs. 73

If you play piano, and EPs I suggest the 61 because
you are going to want a piano under your NE anyway.
It is just not possible to utilize the expressiveness
of the EPs on the NE 2 using the NE key bed. The key
bed on the NE is modeled after a Hammond B-3, I love
it for that. When you try to play EP on it, the
dynamic response and expression is just not there. I
think of my NE 61 as a dedicated organ clone/clav that
I can turn off and use as an excellent Electric Piano
rack module, Seeing as how the 61 costs less than the
rack, it is a no brainer for me, plus for casual jams
you CAN get by with the NE keyboard.

Also when I really want to emulate my B-3, i can use
the 88 key piano under the NE 2 as a fake lower manual
of a B-3, complete range of keys but no drawbars.

Many members of clonewheel and the NE list tend to
agree with me on this one.
