Exactly, Chas.
Three band-mates I played with years ago want to start a small R&B group...they used to help me "hump" around my old B-3 and two Leslie 147RV.
I like the idea of the dual manuals so close together like the B-3...you can't get that with two synths on a keyboard stand, and it would be so cool to have quick firing action...again like my old B-3.
The "drawbuttons" shouldn't be a problem.
The local music store is bringing one in...if the group idea flies, and I like the C1 as much as I think I will, then there will be three of us on the outside.
