Well, I just did a side by side two nights ago, between the CX3, VR09, and SK1, because I wanted to try the CX3 once again before I put it up for sale. I have a hard time parting with clones. The VR09 was purchased because I was hauling the CX3 as a spare, and it was just too heavy to haul for something I probably wouldn't ever use. I do have a vent and real leslie here, so I tried everything from all three with internal sims, to all three through vent, then leslie. I'll just say the CX3 is going on craigslist as soon as I can get some pictures uploaded, and I won't be looking back. My first thought when I heard all three was clones have come a long way! The distance between the CX3 and the VR09 was way more than the distance between the VR09 and the SK1. It sure felt good playing that CX3 though, they got the ergonomics down on that one! That's the one thing that's still the elephant in the room for me with the VR09. Nobody seems to want to reference that but it does not feel at all hammond like to us used to the real deal.

Yes, Set List Mode and the ability to stream your own samples off SSD are, I think, the two most distinguishing features of a Kronos. And its CX3 organ really isn't bad at all especially if you're going to use a Vent or Burn. It's probably at least as good as the VR-760 or VR-09.
