Ken that's funny.. !!
 
I'm on the side with the "don't like the EV's" crowd and to be honest it's not that I hate the sounds, I'm just disappointed that they were better and more comprehensive, especially in a keyboard costing $2000..  The SK1 doesn't even come with nice warm strings on board.... WTF??  They didn't even exist in the downloadable library when I bought mine (not sure if they do even now).  I was also disappointed with the fact that you couldn't split/layer two non-organ sounds.    When I purchased the SK1 I wanted a back up drawbar organ, and an all-in-one that I could use for small gigs.. but unfortunately the SK1 doesn't work for me..   
 
My VR-09 does a lot of things the SK1 can't do, and works very well as backup organ for my Mojo and my Kronos, and as an all-in-one for small gigs with my classic rock band.. 

Regards,
Craig MacDonald
