Daniel,

By all means, if you like the sound of the CX3 and you intend to take advantage of extended mode then stick with the CX3! There are some very unique things you can do with extended mode (for those who aren't familiar with this, the digital CX3's can assign the second set of drawbars to different tones, and blend then in with the basic 9 hammond tones).. Extended mode on the CX3 is capable of some really interesting combo organ sounds for instance. The CX3 engine in the Kronos has the same extended drawbars, and while I think they were fixed tones on the CX3, the Kronos CX3 engine allows you to change the value of each extended tone to whatever you want, very cool!

Personally, I never really got into extended mode, but I can see this being a great feature for certain music genres, surf music, synth-pop, reggae and many other types of ethnic music.

Daniel, the only things I can think of that you can do with two CX3's that you cannot do with a BX3 is having different C/V on each CX3 and/or having Percussion on both manuals, and different leslie settings... is that really what you're looking for and is that really important to you? The only reason I ask is because I really find it convenient to have a dual manual organ.. it's very difficult to attain the correct relationship between two keyboards on a dual-tiered stand (the relationship you have with a real B3 or any dual manual clone) AND 2 keyboards are more work to carry, 2 X cases, AC chords, audio chords, leslie switches etc.. and frankly more to go wrong.

Just thought I would ask this question..
