As a new owner of a 6D 61 I am very happy with the board. I am an organ player, so really couldn't care less about a pitch bend wheel, the only thing I used it on when I had a VR-09B was to control the Leslie emulation, and Nord have the Half moon switch for that. If you want the functionality of a Stage, buy a Stage. I know they are much more expensive, but if they start adding this functionality to the Electro, it's price will increase to reflect this. They won't just add these bits out of kindness, because that wouldn't be fair on the Stage owners. The Electro is an Organ and Piano (which has been previously stated) first with a few light weight synth samples thrown in. If you want a deeply moddable synth, then you have bought the wrong board. I am happy that I have a Vox Continental, Super Continental, Farfisa Compact, B3, Pipe Organ, Steinway Grand, Rhodes and Harpsichord all in one easily portable package. If I ever get an upgraded board, I'd get the C2D for the second manual and full draw bars.
The one thing I would like to see (unless I have missed how to) is to be able to apply different effects on keyboard splits. To be able to apply a bit of distortion to a left hand Rhodes without affecting the Vox when I'm doing The Doors for example.
