Monkey, do you need only B3 sounds, or do you also play piano and electric piano?

I'm most interested in the B3 sounds, but I want good electric piano sounds. I currently use a Roland XP-60, which has solid B3 and el-p sounds, but the action sucks and the B3 sounds cannot be manipulated on the fly (no drawbars). I have a Yamaha for acoustic piano, but that's the only thing it does well. Time for an upgrade.

You know what? It seems to me that 650$ for the Hammond is cheap....Why not buy it, see if you like its sound and decide after all to keep it or sell it?
