$2700 is better than $5900 to be sure for a single manual clone. But all we know is we've been told it's the same basic organ as the KeyB, but until someone actually sees one, it's a lot of hearsay. This organ has been vaporware for more than a year already, so we'll see how it shakes out. And yeah, I think there are great alternatives already available for less money.

But I'm all for progress regardless.

The basic single-manual starts around $2600 --more if you add the
stand and pedals etc...
these keyboards are being marketed more to churches and larger
organizations, thus higher prices.
IMHO there are better options already available to us at much lower
prices, and better leslie sims than the KeyB/Diversi has built in.
Paying significantly more just to get a leslie sim, doesn't seem to
be a wise financial move.
A V5+ and a quality MIDI controller can be put together for less than
$1200--will give you the same basic organ tone that the KeyB or
Diversi will give--- save up to half the cost.
Ok, enough of the economics lecture.
