Off-hand... a lot more split/layer functionality, a full synth section, more sample memory, pitch stick, mod wheel, aftertouch, more MIDI functionality, more flexible output routing

Of course, I could be totally wrong.
Guess I have to eat my words.
I would not have seen that coming. Interesting set of feature additions - these add a lot of value. Also interesting that they kept the piano memory at 1GB, I guess partially to keep the Electro a step below the Stage.

The seamless transitions is the one thing I really miss on the 5D.
Basically just to change drawbar presets without cut of sound in Playlist mode.
Hardly worth the dough to change for unfortunately...
Haven't seen any info about the "price tag". And I wish for NORD that they have tested this keyboard more carefully than the Stage 3 - maybe the Electro 6 benefits from the experiences with all the bugs of the Stage 3 and as it has no Mod-wheel...
