The struggles of physical modelling
Rhodes sounds good with the physical modelling engine. Wurli sounds okay but only okay... lacks a lot of body & warmth to me. But the Clav is actually pretty decent if you're a Clav guy, some options to mess with the sound. No organs, though, so watch out.
The acoustic piano, including the modelled AND sampled sounds, are actually worse than I was afraid they'd be. You would hope for them to be at least serviceable but I would honestly be embarrassed to use them on even a humble gig.
The build quality is kind of hit or miss - I found the outer shell chips pretty quickly with transport, I'd suggest the trolley case. The hood is decent, and the glove compartment thing is actually sweet - but I sort of long for some more durable and sturdy materials. Keys are alright though, probably Fatar.
Physical modelling in keys has a long way to go, despite the charms of the Crumar. I'd suggest gigging folks to stick to a good sampled stage piano at a similar price point.
