Review - Feature:
Rated 8 out of 10. Selling the swell pedal as an extra cost accessory is cheesy. The accessory floor pedals are far too expensive.
Quality:
Rate 10 out of 10. Mine is well made. No complaints.
Value:
Rated 8 out of 10. Everything is over priced today.
Desirability:
Sound:
Rated 9 out of 10. Only the real thing (B3/C3) sounds better or feels better. I'm seriously impressed with both the feel and sound of my XK2. The Leslie simulation is amazingly good. I have yet to fully explore all the MIDI possibilities and split keyboard functions. The optional pedals are also appealing, but very pricey. The Hammond swell pedal is a cut above the rest, and worth the money. Even in an ATA case, I can handle it easily, and without assistance.
Support:
Not rated - Never used their support
Overall:
Rated 10 out of 10. I won't be searching for another keyboard to replace the XK2. It does everything I want, and weighs only a fraction of what my C3 weighed. In a live band venue, the simulated Leslie is certainly good enough to not require the bulk and weight of the real thing.
