I concur with cphollis, not anytime soon. Most of the Stage 3 bugs have been worked out and I don't think they're done with the Stage 3. The Lead's due for an update.

By resetting the Lead numbering system to A1, they gave themselves plenty of wiggle room for upcoming products.

Are your talking about the NS3 Compact with waterfall keys from E to E? The NS3 HP76 has those 3 extra keys, still from E but up to G.

Baekgaard - the NS3 HP76 has a lot heavier action then the 73 key waterfall keyboard model. Can't do B3 and clav stuff on it.

Yes, of course it is.

It was just that in your original post you referred to the "Stage 3" -- which could be any of the 3 models with either SW, HP or HA keys. So for me it was kind of hard to tell you a priori excluded version with weighted keys and mainly play B3 and clav on it

Anyway, that was why I asked if you meant you wanted the compact model with SW keys just in a 76 key version. You now just clarified that.

My setup is a Stage 3 HA88 with a NE6D-73 on top; and yes organ and clav is hard to do on the HA or maybe HP keys. For Rhodes and acoustics, I much prefer the HA keys, though.
