You make a legitimate point about real vs computer generated instruments...but a post 2000 cx-3 is just another clone, so I don't really follow what your're getting at? If you feel connected to the cx-3/vent, than play that combo. I play a 1st generation cx-3 (1979) through a vent because I personally connect to the ergonomics of that clone, and I dig the sound it makes. Remember, clones don't sound the same as a B3, but they can still sound good. it's up to you to determine which one sounds/feels right for you< A "vintage" looking clone is still just a computer. You can get a wicked software organ and build a cool, vintage style console for your midi controller/laptop/receptor/vent...don't be fooled by looks....trust your ears above all else...
