True...basically I'd be using it more for piano, piano with strings patch, Rhodes etc...the organ would be mainly used for pads, although, I guess being used to weighted actions, I have no trouble playing fast licks on them...no different than fast piano runs.
Smears and slides are a different story, but again, they aren't a big part of my style...I'd by an XK-1 if I was that interested.
Playing piano, especially solo, on a semi-weighted or organ (waterfall) keyboard is an even worse scenario.
If I was presented with
one choice only to take on a gig, I'd go with weighted 88, as I play much more piano background than organ.
