Subject:Re: CX3 vs Electro = Sound vs Weight

Hey Jake...

As a guy who owns 2 Hammonds and just about every
clone ever made, the ELECTRO is definitely an option
for you. I still use mine with Speakeasy/Leslie, but
I took it on an 8 week tour and played it by itself,
into an amp, and I was never disatisfied with the
sound. The other sounds are very good, but to me,
they don't come alive until played from a different
keyboard. I say sell the CX3 and get your Electro.
You ears will thank you, your back will thank you, and
you will enjoy every minute of playing it.
