Not to take anything away from your expressing your opinion...

"Not even the overhyped overpriced Chevrolet Corvette can go very fast, plus it can't haul
sheets of plywood from the lumberyard."

I play both the AN1x and Electro on stage. They both are great at that for which they were
made. However, in no way, shape or form can the AN1x be played and sound the way a
Hammond or Rhodes is capable of being played. In my opinion, the Electro deserves every
bit of hype it gets.
