Interesting that the Roland costs about half as much as the Yamaha. 

 

I think the Go is more a CT-S500 competitor than a CK61 competitor, both by virtue of the Yamaha features it lacks, as well as the Casio features it shares.

 

CK61 advantages (over either) include...

... 9 slider drawbar organ engine

... extensive front panel real-time controls

... 4 MIDI zones

... two split points for 3 internal sounds (vs. 1 split point for either 2 or 3 internal sounds)

... 5-pin DIN MIDI

... USB audio interface

... more effects capabilities

 

Casio/Roland features the Yamaha does not have...

... drums

... arranger/accompaniment functions

... MIDI recording
