Sorry folks. Waste of time. I've tried them all. I've searched for the
ultimate portable giggable Hammond solution since I first started lugging
one 30 years ago. I've built chopped Hammonds, chopped Leslies, owned Korg
CX-3's Roland VKs, etc etc etc. I've played all the current crop of modelled
emulators. The sampled ones I can play for about 30 seconds before the out
of tune upper partials drive me crazy. The fully modelled generator ones I
can play awhile longer, but it's like playing your little old aunt's antique
Baldwin in the end. It's like kissing your sister. It's like virtual
synthesis versus MOTM!

If you are satisfied to play a few pad chords in a supporting role in a loud
rock situation, by all means use a clone.

If you want be an organ player, not a keyboardist or synthesist, it's gotta
have full polyphony when you mash your forearm down. It's gotta scream when
you do a rip up the keyboard to high C and stomp the Leslie switch. It's
gotta whisper when you back off and take you to church. Cool jazz and hot
rock. It's gotta make you smile and say AAAHHHH when you pull out the bottom
3 drawbars and just play simple triads. It's gotta smirk  and say "Is that
all you got suckah?!" in response to you losing control and trying to beat
the snot out of it in the heat of battle. It's gotta show you who's boss by
cutting your forearm wide open when you break a key from doing a rip too
hard. It's gotta have SOUL. You don't play a Hammond, you are permitted to
worship it. You don't own a Hammond, you are it's caretaker. Accept no
substitutes. You have been warned!

MOTM and Hammond, a classic combination.
