Pretty well the only thing I didn't like about the C1 was the color...

Red?

Yes, it's the corporate colour, and it does look cool, in a combo organ sort of way, but it doesn't look, as you say, "regal".

If it was a black ebony cabinet, it would help quite a bit, and even some decent wood grain (some synthetic stuff looks pretty good...no, not Mac Tac...the stuff they use on some Mahogany Clavinovas is nice).

I didn't mind the Nord's pseudo drawbars...they aren't a big deal, as long as you can save your favorite settings, and the Leslie sim on the Nord was easily the equal to the Hammond XK-3c.

I also thought the key action was very nice...very responsive...handled single note repeats very well..felt "expensive", like it was designed by someone who played organ.

Just too bad it's red.
