What's the fun of having other stuff plugged into your Electro when it's all right there on the panel.
Tube amps warm up the organ real good. Also the Rhodes.

+1 to this. I've been running my E5D organ through a Roland Blues Cube amp and it does wonders to the sound. The C2D engine is a tad edgy and 'digital sounding' to my ears and it takes off that edge really well. Doesn't give you the spaciousness though; it's more like a tightly miked Leslie which cuts through the band nicely.

If it were me, since the E5 has a very respectable B3 sound, I'd spend the money on better amplification. A pair of QSC V2 8" would be WAY better than a couple of Roland keyboard amps. Better than a Twin Reverb also, though back in the day a lot of folks used them for Rhodes with some success. Plus you don't have to be a rugby player to load it in and out.
