Well Allan you are the only one who can really tell actually, we don't know what are your needs and how much would you "suffer" from missing the pitch bend and mod wheel in the NE5 or still not having the drawbars in the NS2EX.

Of course NS2 EX is the more natural upgrade but question to ask yourself is: how do you use the NS EX today and what (looking at NE5D specifications) would get and/or miss? What music genre do you play and how important is to have more than 2 timbres, the Ext section and the other MIDI capabilities of the NS? Etc...

Hi Max thanks for your reply not too bothered with synth to be honest or pitch bend im an old Hammond player not very techy i like the look of the drawbars i do miss them on my ex and im looking for a better leslie sim i did try the neo vent but to be honest i wasnt over keen i play really 60,s 70,s my era so maybe look toward the N5d many thanks for you comments
