If you run them through a guitar amp like most people originally did way back when it will sound a lot better. Anybody who has ever owned or toured with a Rhodes or a Clavinet knows that there's a reason that those instuments slowly disappeared - the tuning. Furthermore most of them were modified so a real Rhodes sound to one person is a horrible one for another which makes comparing sounds hard. I also have Magnetica, EVP88 and the real deal and to tell you the truth I don't even have the real thing in my studio anymore because I never used it. I don't have a B3 or a Leslie but a lot of the organ sound comes from the volume pedal and register skills that good organ players have and not so much the actual sound so again it's not possible just to press the keyboard and then judge the sound. I completely agree that the keyboard plays a massive part in the performance like the Hammonds with their very light keyboard, almost like a toy keyboard.
