Nord Electro 3 or Nord Stage?

PLan is to invest in one of these this year when it comes to gigging. I played the electro 3 in musicmaker a few weeks back and it seems to have what we will need it for (mainly organs and pianos).
I'm a bit confused as to what the difference is between the electro 3 and the stage though? Which would be the better option?

The Electro is exclusively for electromechanical keyboard sounds.

Fender Rhodes,Clavinet,Wurlitzer,B3 Hammond Organ,Melotron,Vox Continental Organ & the Farfisa Organ.All the kinds of stuff you hear from classic rock bands like The Doors,Pink Floyd,The Beatles,Deep Purple etc.

It also has 4 complimentary pianos.The upright piano is really nice imo.

I think the Nord stage pretty much does everything from synths to the above.

cheers.

don't think I'd use much of the synths at all, just the organs and pianos really. I played the electro in Dublin recently and the organs sound sweet...though lots of bands seem to use the "stage"

If you did need any synths there is an extensive Nord library online available to Nord Electro 3 users.Some cool sounds there.
