Subject:Hammond XK-3 as a controller??

Today I tried the Hammond XK-3. I thought the action was really nice, a little more "travel" in
the keybed compared to my CX-3.
Just wondering if anyone is using this to control another module for EP's and Clav's or (gasp!)
acoustic pianos.
Anyone??
I've tried this before, with my CX-3 with mixed results. I think a lot of it was the Roland
JV2080 I used to own. Now that I'm looking again for the big three (Acoustic piano, Electri
and Clav) AND I don't feel like moving my Yammie P-250 around; I'm again looking to "trim
the fat," so to speak.
If the Hammond XK-3 is a better playing and performing controller than my CX-3, I would
consider getting one (even though I'd be trading a somewhat superior Leslie simiulator for
the one in the XK-3). But - having played the XK-3 today, the leslie sim really wasn't *that*
bad! :)
Any thoughts?? :)
