Togge, Yep the ELS-02C is what I would get....about $12k with shipping and a guess of import duty. Taro gives 1 year warranty, but you have to find a tech or fix it yourself , he sends parts. I would be qualified to fix it, no problem. He covers up to $1,000 in parts (or if you get some tech also)

I read the entire set of manuals for Genos and ELS-02C this last weekend, compared. There is actually more capability on Genos. After all it is a newer unit.The issue of pedal sounds and lower is there, but workable.

I had a Yamaha HS8-T organ in late 80's....and it had almost the same features, BUT certainly not the same sounds. I paid $8,500 then...so I think the ELS is OK price.

I am now thinking to do the Genos arranger organ...lots of reasons but I would really like the ELS. You named some of reasons...very limited market for it after I go to the big place in the sky.

Now I am not sure what to use for lower, maybe a NP32.

For now I may actually take my SX-900 and add the lower...see how I like it. A NP32. I do have a PC in the same area so I can use the USB MIDI host setup. Also at some time I may build a cabinet at our wood shop here.
