You can get all the 5D sounds out of the NS3, except there are a few less adjustments available to the organ sound. (Of course, the NS3 is capable of a lot more that the 5D is not capable of.)

I have both a 5D and the NS3.

I purchased the NS3 as a replacement for my 5D in order to gain the added synth capabilities instead of purchasing a 3rd keyboard (I play live with an Alexis QS8.2 and the NS3).

As stated the 5D has more adjustments available for the B3, but overall the differences are very minor.
