ONe more question: it seems from my limited research that the gap is quickly closing between keyboards and organs. That is, new organs have midi sounds that are basically exactly the same as the ones keyboards can load.
Every time I ask a dealer what the difference is, they tell me the traditional organ is better built, its a grand piece of furniture, it has a warranty, it "sounds better." But I can't, for the life of me, understand how a $30k Allan could possibly sound better than a $5k keyboard, if they are using the same loaded sounds, playing through the same speakers.
We don't really need to spend a lot of money just for furniture. Should we be looking for a cheaper console and load up some great sounds, plugged up to some nice speakers? Would we get the same exact sound for a fraction of the cost?
