If I were still a regular-gigging musician in a organ trio setting; given the combination of sound, weight, and price, I'd have to go with the Nord. Just the concept of showing up at the gig with a two-manual "B" under you arm is too good to resist. A two manual beats the heck out of a single manual with bass split (for playability) and at half the weight; a no-brainer for me. Sure, i'd miss the drawbars, but life is full of compromises, besides, after listening to the demos, I'm not sure the XK-1 sounds THAT much better. JMO.
