Everyone's tastes are different - if they weren't we'd all be playing the same organs. If you want a good quality English cathedral sound with character, get the MDA Willis. It will play most repertoire, though it is particularly suited to, obviously, English church music. The key words here, though, are the English *cathedral* sound. Complete with the acoustic. It's not an instrument that will help you practice, because the acoustic is so forgiving. However, to perform on, it's stunning. Unless you're a Baroque fiend, where the registrations available on just Vol I are quite limiting. I've only played the demo (and the real thing), and would say that mush is an unfair description if you've not crippled the sampleset in some way by reducing bit depth, release tails, etc. It feels to me very much like the real thing, and, if I had the money, it would be up there on my wish list to buy. Unfortunately it just doesn't compete ££-wise with the particularly good value Haverhill.
