I'd go for the Nord Electro 3, or is it 4 now?
Great organs and piano, plus you might find a pretty good string synth loaded, or if you are very lucky you might find the rather impressive tron sound library loaded.
I use mine all the time it's great.

I’ve been played by a broad, but never played one.

Dear all

It looks like I'll be playing abroad later this year, without being able to
take my regular rig (Jupiter-8, Taurus pedals, generic fake Hammond and
piano). I'm hoping to be able to use my Pro-One (which will fit in a
suitcase) to fake the Taurus and a mono synth patch I need, but I'll have to
hire something locally to cover everything else, i.e. overdriven Hammond,
piano and synth strings. I'm almost entirely ignorant of modern synths, so
does anyone have any recommendations for something I can ask for? Assuming I
get any choice, that is :-)

Many thanks in advance,

Andy T.
