Based on what I've read about it, there is no built-in leslie sim in the
Key5. The online description says, "plug it into a Voce Spin II rotating speaker
simulator, or into a 11-pin rotating speaker...." Why would it say that if
there were a leslie sim built in?

As for sounding better, with a $4,200 street price I should hope so. I paid
less than that for the B3 *and* the 122 that reside in my living room. And of
course it seems the NAMM XK3 is not the XK3 we'll be seeing for sale in a few
months, so I guess everything remains to be seen.
