Not in my case...the lower manual would be 61 keys as well...works for the B-3 and any other organs I've played, so I wouldn't want 76 keys.

It's another reason why I like 61 keys on a single manual instrument...having 76 means the bender/wheels are further away from where I am chording, and putting the wheels/bender on the panel, above the keys, isn't any better, and generally awkward to use.

It's my personal preference, something different may work better for you.
