In the meantime I had some time to compare the differences between the internal Rotary, the Ventilator II and now also the Lester K with each other.
Basically, it's not just about the effect of the rotating 2-way system, but above all about the best possible reproduction of its nice, but very rough frequency response, which in reality must also have a hole between 400 and 1K. In terms of effect, I think the Lester K sounds closest to a close miked 122 or 147.
With a Source Audio EQ2 all 3 can be adjusted accordingly, whereby the internal one needs the most screwing, Lester K the least. I once integrated the Vent II and 2 SA270s into the NS3 and have been using them for a long time. Vent II works much better in the band context than the internal one ... Lester K seems to be even better, but I'm still testing it.

Awesome! Can you post a picture with the front panel? Wondering how you managed the controls integration!

Edit: Postponed for later checking, sorry.

... there was no more space for any front panels inside. Ven II connected to the Sustain Pin (via a si diode) and the halfmoon switch. All the rest is by midi. Audio from Out 4 EQ out soldered to the internal main mixer of the NS3 with 2 times 10K - the only way to leave the external aux in post eq.

Don't know if this was mentioned in this thread yet, but unfortunately, the Nord Leslie simulator comes after the reverb, so you will always hear the reverberated signal swirling in the Leslie:(

The NS4 can be configured either way.
