I agree... weighted keys for piano (acoustic and electric) and organ touch for organ (and synth?)  Anything else just doesn't quite work, at least in my opinion.

Any time you have an "all-in-one" configuration, you're going to have compromises in terms of action response. I've tried from time to time to get by with a single keyboard, but I always come back to using two keyboards, one with waterfall action for organ and weighted action for piano. The only reason that I'm still playing after all these years is that I still really love playing music and trying to play organ sounds with a piano action or vice versa really diminishes the amount of enjoyment I get from playing. As much as I would LOVE to be able to get my rig in in one trip, it really only saves (in most cases) 5 minutes of my time to just use one keyboard. Then throughout the rest of the gig I'm wrestling with the actions or trying to adjust my playing to split points or action responsiveness instead of just submerging myself in the music.
