I think it's actually more like the Nord Stage line rather than Electro, as it also has synths. Keyboard seems pretty cool, but not sure about the stand.

I think it's in between the Electro and the Stage, as far as features go. Some more features than the Electro, but less than the Stage (no splits?!?)

It's basically the Korg Grandstage stage piano, repackaged in a more organ-oriented version with the Vox brand and a vintage feeling.

It's true that it looks very much like a Nord, but then we should remember that "The original red keyboard" was really the Continental! ;)

Yeh that red colour has been around a long time on keyboards!

Anyway, I think Vox have a long way to go to catch up with Nord for this kind of thing. The Vox reminds me a bit of the first time I played/saw the Electro in a music store about 20 years ago...

Even then the Electro seemed much more mysterious and cool......
