Is the upcoming Nord 6 HP just a stripped down version of the Stage 3 HP 76?

Besides the obvious three less keys, the synth section on the stage 3 appears to not be present on the 6HP. There is also less memory.

The new Nord 6 HP appears to have a brand new type of hammer action?

I already have a Stage 3 compact, love it for B3 gigs (when I don't take my Viscount Legend). I'm considering purchasing another Stage 3 HP or a 6 HP for the gigs that I play mainly piano for, but still need some B3.

thx

Also only one split point in a program; fewer effects controls; no external MIDI control; no ability to split/layer two piano sounds or two sample/synth sounds; and largely related to the lack of synth and MIDI controls, also no aftertouch, pitch stick, or mod wheel.

I haven't seen anything about that.

ETA: Some more NS3 functions missing from the E6: less output routing flexibility; less pedal functionality; no global mono mode; fewer patch select buttons. Also, song mode has been replaced by organize mode... which one is better is probably a matter of opinion.

Thx for the info! I'll pick up a Stage 3 HP 76 instead, I would like all the functionality I'm used to.
