Actually, it was Hlaalu who brought it up, not me, but yes I do find it appealing.

There's something that just doesn't quite scratch my itches about the SK-line. They seem to be all about compromise - generally not the best Suzuki organ engine...
Yes, it has a better engine in it than the previous SK, and it is indeed the best Suzuki organ engine, the first time it's been available at this price.
If you want a board with a full array of dedicated organ controls and a full array of dedicated lead synth controls, the SK Pro and the Nord Stage 3 are probably your only choices. And that's a very nice combination of functions for a single board to put over a hammer-action board for your pianos and EPs.
But as I said, particular plusses and minuses depends on what you compare it to. I could list a whole bunch of ways it might be more appealing than the competitive Electro 6, for example. (Though of course, the Nord will retain some advantages of its own as well.)
