The Motion products are nice imitators, but they are
NOWHERE near the tone of a real leslie, at least not
for me. You dont get tone on a diet. If you're
committed enough to go above and beyond your clone's
leslie sim, then before purchasing an MS product, do a
side-by-side taste test. Then make your move.
