I have been looking at the Ikea Nord Electro 4D. (Viking red!)
A very good B3, Vox Continental, Farfisa simulator but it still only has 68 MB of flash memory for samples. Is that really a problem? If I can have two or three mellotron voices loaded at once, I'm happy. Any of you guys using an Electro 3?

I also used it to fill in for my Mk. VI when I had some repair issues recently and I was pleased with the accuracy of the Mellotron samples.
