Nord wave 2 or Kurzweil K 2061 in 2025 ...?

I need something to add to my Korg Kronos. Music—pop, funk, electronic, rock, covers—preferably live. I've been playing a Waldorf Iridium (an instrument for sound designers, not musicians). I like the "sharp/edgy sound" of a Korg :mrgreen: . I also have a Nautilus and Nord Piano 5 but I'd like something from a different company.
Has anyone played them side by side and have any comments? The sounds I'm interested in are leads, synths, and pads. I have piano, electric piano, etc., on the Kronos, Nord Piano 5.
The NW2 is a strong selling point—easy to use, a bit lighter/smaller. Do you have any suggestions or personal preferences?

well as someone who owns both, the 2061 has way more capabilities, but the Wave 2 is much more fun to play. There's zero learning curve on the Wave 2, like most Nord stuff, and the 2061 is super deep. Currently the cat is sleeping on the 2061 and I'm playing the Wave 2.
