Donny, were you saying that you DON'T use a sustain pedal for anything OTHER than cocktail piano? How can you play any kind of Rhodes or Wurli or Ac. Piano without one?
Diki.... I mostly use TWO BOSS FS5U pedals when I need them that you can latch together via a channel on the side if more then one is needed....

It's all about HOW YOU PLAY, there are KB playing & fingering techniques that can imitate using sustain pedals. They are just more tools that players have to choose if they need them or not, I have seen too many players over abuse and drown themselves out & their music in a sea of sustain abusing the pedal as they almost ride it throughout the song....
nothing is set in stone.
