You're messing up, if you don't say Nord Electro. Those other ones mentioned above don't even compare. If you want a KEYBOARD with organ, then get this one. I think Roland has a keyboard that also has organ built into it too, but the Electro is the better one; however, it only has piano sounds and the organ, so there aren't any synth sounds. They just came out with one call the Nord Stage (http://www.clavia.se/products/nordstage/index.htm) It's a combination of the Nord Lead and Electro, so you get synth, piano and organ sounds, but no strings. You could make a pad though, using the synth. If you want both, get the Electro. It's expensive, but it's the best option. If you really want piano and an ok organ then get the Motif or Triton.

You don't really get to fully control your organ or any other sound with the nord. The korg triton EX has knobs that work like drawbars, and the motif-es has sliders that work like drawbars also. A very expensive keyboard with no strings or synth sounds, no thanks, not for me.

Huh?

I don't think you've actually played an Electro. It has buttons for each of the drawbars, and it supports two manuals, which you can either setup as an upper and lower manual or upper manual and bass. You also have knobs to modify the wah-wah, tremlo, etc. You must not have played an Electro before. The Motif is the Electros only competition in EP sounds (they're almost even, with the Electro slightly leading), but the Electro beats the Motif in Acoustic Piano and Organ sounds.

the Kurzweil K2600 has the best Organ in my opinion.
it has built in drawbars, can play samples from akai, roland, and yamaha.

K2600 is way more versatile, but still doesn't have the best organ. It also costs more than the Electro, and lacks the ability to play two manuals at once. The drawbars are a plus for it though. The Electro has buttons, which takes some time to get used to, but still isn't natural.

Now if you want a cheap keyboard with some nice organ sounds and leslie effects.

Only problem is I think the drawbars only moves by increments of 2 or 3. Maybe they have changed that on this new one.

Why would you want any other color? A board that sweet has to stand out physically and visually! LOL

Really though, I'm not trying to convince you to get the Electro, but your question was about a keyboard with the best ORGAN sound, which the Electro is. If you want more sounds or drawbars, however, then you might want to get the 2600 or that other one that I think Roland makes. VK Combo? I don't remember the name. I just saw it yesterday too. If you want sequencing then get the Motif or Triton. The Electro is just a stage piano with organ.

....BUT....The cheapest option, if you already have a keyboard, is to get a Roland VK-8M. You'll get the ability to play two manuals in a smaller and lighter package. It all depends on what you want. I'm starting to go more with modules and controllers though. You can get the same sounds, upgrade easier, and it's cheaper.

I'm actually looking at getting the Electro module, because I already have 2 keyboards and an organ.

I've played a 2600 before. I've played all the boards mentioned so far, even that casio.

Ok, but the sounds on the links that i posted are B3 aftermaket sounds that were recently created for the K2600.
i just wanted your opinion on if they were fairly realistic.

I wanted a different color because if the church is blue and you have a red board sitting right in the middle it does'nt look that good.  :D :D :D

No haven't played one, but i saw it on the internet and the guy who was playing the organ sounds look like he was having a hard time using the buttons. I prefer sliders.

Yeah I know this board isn't that bad. I played on Wednesday. But still I don't really like Casio boards.
