Folks - I have been using a C2D for several years now ( having upgraded from a C1 - which i still keep as a backup) . The C2D sounds good on its own & Great through a Leslie. I'm really now intrigued by the new Organ 3. However, i find it interesting / curious that there are a few of the new 'Organ 3s' now showing up on line for sale as 'used' & 'B-Stock', suggesting that whoever bought them weren't completely satisfied with the results. I was just wondering what thoughts folks in this Forum might have about all this & whether folks thought it is worth the upgrade. I would appreciate your input.
Thanks & Regards, Mike
Should i upgrade from current C2D to the new Organ 3 ?

Re: Should i upgrade from current C2D to the new Organ 3 ?
I can't speak much about the differences, except that I like the Organ 3 tone much better than its predecessors.
I took a look on Reverb, and I wouldn't read too much into what you see there.
The "B"-stock is a device many retailers will use to sell for less than Nord's "recommended" price. All it means is that the box has been opened, often intentionally. I always buy B-stock as I'm unlikely to return the board.
The used ones that are there look like retail floor models, so -- yes -- they're used, and not B-stock.
If you check the listings for the Nord Stage 4, it's the same thing -- and, right now, that's the most popular Nord out there.
