Steve, I've tried the new version of the PC361 with the OS upgrade and despite hearing rave reviews from some people who think it's a vast improvement over the previous leslie sim, I thought it was still very medeocre (maybe that is just a reflection of how bad the sim used to be??)..
 
I still don't think the new PC361 leslie sim is still not anywhere near as good as any of the current crop of leslie sims..  Numa/SK1/2 Ventilator etc..   I might use it for rehearsal, but I would never perform with it in a "hammond-centric" band.  That said, there are lot's of guys who are quite satisfied using the organ samples built into motifs, and other sample player/workstations.. but that doesn't work for me.  
 
As a guy who knows about good Hammond sound, I think you'll be dissappointed in this sim... that said, maybe given your skills you can come up with a preamp/eq combination that makes it sound better.. 
 
Regards,
Craig MacDonald
