hello chris,
I think you should download and try out all the sounds of electric piano from the site and listen to what you like best.

I have found that the closest think to that particular Rhodes sound would be Rhodes #1 the mk1 78' suitcase. it has a lot of bell in the tone. I don't know if the n3 has the presence controle like the n2 but I find that very useful in getting a specific tone out of the Rhodes patches. The mkv might be a good one to try with a little adjustment. Those are really the only two that would come close to it... try each one through every amp option adjusting the eq. good luck.
