John about said it all, and I agree. I place my Compact to the side about a foot and a half and back about 6 inches.

I have the Compact and L1, but find I don't need to lug the big one. It stays in my studio hooked up to all my other keyboards and mixers.

The "Gain Staging" is important and covered in the manual and forum to greater detail.

I would sure get it.

ps
The only venue that the Compact might be deficient in is heavy metal where people are used to driving bass going through them.
