Dear SB,

I had a reasonably good Leslie sound with a Voce V5 plus a Rotosphere. (Of
course tastes vary, and if you are used to a Leslie you may not like EITHER the
Rotosphere or the MotionSound.) If you really jump around you may not want
to have the V5 drawbars with their delicate wall wart. Also, if you do a lot
of switching between modules (e.g. organ to piano) you may have problems with
the V5 locking up (requiring you to turn it off and then on again).

You can probably get a used Roland (and maybe Korg) for a price under what a
V5 plus Motion Sound would cost. I should add that I prefer the basic
drawbar sound on the V5 to the drawbar sound on the Korg. But the Korg's ergonomics
are great! All the drawbars and buttons are right where you want them.
