Subject:Newbie intro and question


Hi.
New guy here, and new to playing organ with my blues band. I
own a '70s vintage analog Korg CX3, and brought it to practice
for the first time yesterday. Another guy in the band has a
Hammond XK2 that he would like to sell. He is suggesting that I
sell the CX3 and buy his XK2, of course. I haven't had a chance
to try it out yet, and am new enough to keys that I might not know
what to look for. While I own a Leslie (for my M-3 at home), I'm
not planning on hauling it, so I will have to live with the
simulation for a while.

I can see some advantages of the XK2 - waterfall keys, MIDI, and
maybe more presets. One advantage of the Korg seems to be
size and weight. Just wondering if anyone has any opinions one
way or the other about plusses and minusses, and opinions on
what I should do.
