The XK-3 is in very short supply in the UK and expensive, and it will
be a while before it could easily be auditioned.
I get the drift of your arguments and it seems that this is really
one great organ which works well with the Leslie 2101/2.
The Leslie sim is 'passable' but no cigar.

This then begs the question, what of the Voce V5, OK not a keyboard,
but a digital tonewheel generator which by general concensus some
while ago was said to be indistinguishable from the real thing when
heard through a Leslie, OK not quite there with the percussion and C/V
but this has been improved with the launch of the V5 plus as I
understand. Is the XK-3 way better sounding than the V5 plus and if
so, how so?
