Whoopsie daisy, that was a not so subtle way of calling me a bad player. I don't say I'm a good player. Maybe I suck a big one. That's not the issue. I just say: please take it easy on the innuendo - even if that last phrase will get me banned. I'm easy and I like this group, but I like to be respected as a human being. I felt disrespect. If that is enough to get me banned, so be it. Do it now.

Anyway: Let's get down to the facts.
I (or anyone on earth including 5 year old children) play a simple major triad with, say 008800000 and leslie on slow, expresion pedal on max. No percussion, no scanner vib.
How on earth will an ultra-virtuoso player make that sound better on an XK-3 as compared to a well serviced vintage console Hammond through a Leslie 122?

I know you are an expert and your word has more value than mine. But think about it.

Cheers,
