You have asked a tough question. No one can pick your keyboard! You need to
do it. This answer is coming from the musician side of me. The engineer went
to lunch. From my point of view, all of the clones you mention are very
good. My own clone is a Hammond XB5. All of these keyboards have pros &
cons. Your first decision is what saddle feels the best. My comfort level is
the Hammond. Once you arrive at what flavor you want, your next decision is
features like internal sim, programs, drawbars etc. Since I play a Motion
Sound the awful Hammond sim is not needed. If you noticed I have not spoke
of sound yet. There is a reason for this. From my experience all of the
clones mentioned all have decent usable Hammond sounds. All clones suffer
from the same problems, such as muddy & shrill tones at times. The cure is
very elementary. Use good speakers & audio systems & just play.
