I agree Lou, getting the keyboards to sound best takes experience and a decent ear. Different keyboards require
different treatment which is why on larger system especially I prefer a stereo feed from each keyboard (if it is stereo)
I don't hard pan LR on stereo systems but a slight spread can bring a fullness out that mono sometimes lacks. A hard pan
on something like a Leslie can be an interesting effect but moderate pans give a better experience to a large audience
and make the mix sound more consistent throughout the room.

I think sound techs that bury keys generally do not understand how they should sound in the mix. In short, they are afraid of them and so keep them low in the mix so nothing bad happens. Combined with that is the absurd notion that some techs have that keys just provide a background, filling, or fattening sound, but never are spot-lighted, and should never be noticed - that's for guitar players and drummers!
