   My feelings exactly.  And I'll be the first to rave about the synth 
 that eventually pulls it off - 'cause you they will one day.  But for
 now, in many cases I think it's worth hauling a B-3 just to have that 
 sound.  When you're standing on stage playing beside it, it's magical.  
 There's really nothing else I've heard yet that comes close.
