In the eye of the beholder, beauty is.

my past experiences and conclusion. The moving air is for the players
and the stage. The audience can't tell the different with a good high
quality simulation. Case in point (my Electro): I can walk out into
the audience about 10-15 feet and I hear all the goodness of Leslie
sound moving around the room, reflecting off walls and surfaces. Back
on stage - with a Leslie - all that goodness is also condensed for me
and the band to be in the aura that sounds the same as my Electro sim
out in the audience. With my Motion Sound Pro-145, it's the same
thing - but I do wonder how many owners have taken the time to learn
how to set the controls up to get a decent sound from one? Makes no
difference to me = I love the sound of my Speakeasy 122/AMA Pro-145.
I love the sound of my RBII and ProLine 760 with a 122/AMA. The RT-20
sounds fine, best rotary simulator ever made IMO, same result walking
out in the audience to listen, and still 'in the aura' onstage. I
think the thing is to pick what 'aura' you like the best to be
playing from because... ta da: The audience doesn't know the
difference - assuming you're playing a top-rank clone. Give me a V5
and an RT20 and an A30-33 for a setup into a couple of great
speakers, and I'm a happy camper - that just happens to have other
choices, all of which I enjoy.

The "proof of the pudding" is that you can plug any of them direct
into a recording board and get a great Leslie sound... hmm?
