Believe it or not, this product doesn't suck.

Wurlitzer I always thought of as the "Supertramp" sound. But now I'll forever associate it with "What'd I Say", knowing as I now do (thanks to Geir) that Brother Ray used a Wurli on that track. So that just reinforces my selection of the Wurlitzer. I really like that warbling "buzzy" sound.

Rhodes tends to remind me of bland '70s fusion. And I'm not at all sure what the Yamaha sounds like; but I do know that I DON'T see the point of an electric piano sounded like an acousic. I guess it is convenient for performers, but that's quite irrelevent as far as listening goes.

Rhodes wins everytime, i get slightly annoyed by post-70s gil scott heron performances as he tends to use a dx7 instead of a rhodes :P

I see no problem if it sounds more or less entirely like an acouistic one. Like Steinbergs great "The Grand" softsynth, for instance.

I had the good fortune last week of being in a studio packed w/ vintage equipment and having someone demonstrate a Hammond B-3 through a vintage Leslie. Absolutely gorgeous sound, loud as shit but clear and fat.

LOVE it. And on the Wurli I practiced on as a kid, when you pressed on the pedal and turned up the vibrato all the way you could get some gorgeous/bizarre feedback sounds.
