Thomas. I've been able to try out a Nord but I can't try out the Voce
stuff anywhere locally. But if the basic sound with no leslie sim is
better on the V5 then that's probably what I'll go with, the V5+ has
an improved chorus and percussion I've heard and I don't need a
leslie sim. Leslie sims are voodoo for me anyway, in fact they're
just pure evil!
