Many of the manufacturer decisions are based on cost vs. return (sales) as they should be. I really wish they would put out something organ centric like the XK-3c.
To me it is still the best layout of the bunch and sounds as good as the current bunch of clones (which all sound good). There are always little variations that can be
improved like the C/V or Leslie sims but I think at this point the changes are small. I really prefer a dedicated keyboard for the organ so something like trigger depth
is important to me. If organ isn't the main use of the keyboard then a lower trigger depth makes sense. It seem right now that the new keyboards are focusing on the
low price market which in this economy makes good sense and the do all seem to sound great. YMMV

This is very true, though I think we're all a bit peeved when features are left out that don't need to be. Though sometimes there are legitimate design reasons, its all too often a measure of laziness that the manufacturer just doesn't "get" what vintage keyboardists want an *exact* replica of their favorite instrument (That's all :). But when the technology to do it is right there under your fingers, and you realize that the software isn't, you just have to ask why. All of them are starting to get closer to it though. -pc
