And also honestly, if you set up a separate instance of Hauptwerk for 2- channel sets like this and go mixdown to your back channels, you will get 99.9% of the benefits of surround, will save many GB of memory, and you honestly won't be able to tell the difference.

Marc, we've had this discussion before; mixing the same sounds through more than one speaker is a bad idea. You're welcome to your opinion, and if you can't hear why it's bad, then by all means go for it, but I can't do it. Also remember that another vendor has just released a similar American organ with 6 channels.
Some may say "this one is cheaper", and that's fair enough, but I don't buy samples based on cost. I tend to buy 1 sample and use it for a few years so it has to sound good. A few hundred dollars spread over a few years is meaningless considering the cost of the rest of my system; speakers, amps, keyboards, console, music. I have 32 gigs of ram, so again memory is not a concern unless it's a massive sample (which I don't buy anyway since I'm not a fan of large and cumbersome organs).
My sample usage went like this:
Velesovo, CC - St Eucaire, Tholen, Rotterdam Transept.
I'm now looking for a new sample with a warmer sound. But there is no way I'm backing down on quality or features. Again, just my opinion, I'm sure this Schantz will be enjoyed by many.
