One observation: with the exception of parameter editing, there are very few
"cyclic pushbutton" controls on the CX-3 - controls where you push a button
repeatedly to go through the different settings. You also have eight presets
plus the drawbars that you can easily reprogram for your needs without having
to cycle the preset bank selector.

My recollection of the Electro was that there were several of those (I think
vibrato and percussion in the organ section). You would have a lot of "state"
to remember if you change those settings very often. Add to that the lack of
physical drawbars, and it may be more challenging for you than necessary.

For weight, I like the Electro. For function and B-3 ergonomics, I like the
CX-3 (and owned one for six months). Both sounded satisfactory to me.
