FINALLY!!
This is a Leslie sim that actually does what it is supposed to do. I use a '50 Pro and a '54 Bandmaster, both 15" Alnico Jensen speakers. You want to use two amps and you want to take the time to balance the sound between them. But this little guy (the Lester) just NAILS the Leslie. Even the backwards-spinning horn sound on deceleration - it is there.
I own three genuine Leslie speakers, one of them the Fender Vibratone. I have used Leslies on and off for over 40 years, and I have forever searched for a sim that I liked. I have tried many of the newer sims, including Lex.
I think you're gonna like this IF you can spring for two amps and have them well-balanced (similar speakers, etc). Don't go this route for mono-only as any Leslie sim will do that.
What it is missing is a blend control. It is all-Leslie or not, and there are times in a small combo where you want to blend things a bit.
