"Finally my dream come true: a Rhodes, an Hammond, a Mellotron and a Clavinet in my bedroom!!!"
I use it for about 6 months and am pretty happy with it. Actually it is on of the key elements of my home studio.
Don't miss my own homepage dedicated to the Vintage Keys :

Sound
Electric pianos (Rhodes, Wurly, P70...) are fantastic! They can fit every style of music! Hammond are pretty good too. Mellotron are very interesting too. Clavinet need a post-treatment, though..
There are many sounds I never use, such as DX7 or some synths, and I would have preferred to get more different hammond sounds for instance!
Features
I only use it for its sounds : I never use beats nor riffs, even if they're pretty good, actually
Quality
Great, even if some pots look a little bit cheap...
Value
The greatest deal you could imagine for the money!!!
Manufacturer Support

"Practical, useful, killer featureset, great value, upgradable."
At 21 Lbs, this keyboard has a lot of content. I am still looking for a good 88-key weighted synth or controller, especially one that feels good yet is light. I would definitely get another if it was stolen.
Sound
Great sample set; presets usefully programmed. Realtime controllers are very useful onstage. The guitar and bass players in my band came over to me and told me the Hammond sounded very good (they almost never tell me anything like that!) The Leslie fast-to-slow transitions sound much better in the context of a live band than by itself.
Features
No pedals provided; good manual, though. Excellent programmability and flexibility.
Quality
So far, so good. 1 gig only. Controls feel good, solid, not cheap. No rattles; unit has not malfunctioned yet.
Value
Incredible value for the money! I'll be exploring the features for quite a while.
Manufacturer Support
No support required as yet. Other E-mu support experience has been good.
The Wow Factor
It is practical, yet packed with "cool" features. I do wish it was slightly less deep physically, just my opinion.
