Subject:Xmas choices!

Ok guys, here's the deal...

Iv just sold my CX-3 (didnt like the chorus, or the tinny top end,
and all the other gimmicky things on it, plus the weight! - im trying
to get my rig as portable and as light as possible) Im currently
using on my rig, a Clavinet D6, Roland A-37 linked to XV5080 module.
I need something to replace the organ, and have contemplated a lot on
the Nord Electro 73, but id like to know if its really worth spending
the money on it as i have the XV5080 rhodes and wurli sounds. Are
they nearly as good as the Nord? If so, then i could possibly go for
the VK8M and save myself some money, just to get the organ tone im
currently missing from my rig.

I keep hearing good things and bad things about the VK8M soundwise,
and also ill be running any organ clone i get through a modified
Leslie 145, so the Leslie simulations not a big deal unless im
playing in a tiny room! SO bearing that in mind is it gonna be as
good as the Nord!? I just dont live near any music shops so its mail
order for me, so i just want to be sure in my own mind.

Anyone got any advice before i become penniless at xmas? (hey dont we
all!)

Regards

Gary
