Then it looks like you have to decide what you prefer - if the look
and design, or the sound. Maybe you shouldn't spend thousands of Euros
for your solid cherry foldable cabinet and mahogany legs and try to
find real Hammond for that money. When selling XK3 and P100 S, and
adding few euros, maybe it would be enough.

Why do you think we can't emulate the sound nowadays? You have good
experience with old virtual B3, and another advice here is: get a
MOJO... So definitely there is some choice.

I'm very satisfied with my Korg CX3. Why?

First I'm not sound fetishist and don't need exact emulation - for
this I have CV and M3, not to count quite satisfying LSI model
Commodore.
Second I think more important than sound is music, and performance -
ability of player.
Third I love innovative Extended mode with added and freely tunable
drawbars and percussions. IMHO there must be some progress and
development even in the organ sound - traditional sound is good only
for traditional styles. Korg Kronos has more features in this sense.

And let's not forget:
Excellent player can get good results with sampled Hammond sound from
some synthesizer or portable keyboard.
Bad player will get nothing even from the best Hammond/Leslie system.
