Korg SV-2S 73

I was also considering the Viscount Legend 70s & the Nord too, however what swung it for me was the amp & cab sims.
Here in the UK I couldn't find the Viscount anywhere to try one (I know it has an amp drive sim control) but I did compare the SV2 & the Nord.
The Nord has some lovely clean Rhodes sounds but if like me, you consider the grittier tones an essential part of the Rhodes experience, in all honesty, the Nord doesn't come close. That's where the amp/cab sims come in.
Also in my view I prefer the Korg RH3 to the Nord Electro keybed, although I didn't try the Nord Piano or Stage as they were beyond the budget.
I love the styling, a flat top would have been great for putting a synth on top but not a big deal,& the curved top does look very cool too.
I love the different sections that can be switched in or out, the interface is very intuitive and engaging.
I really like the white finish and the speakers are actually pretty decent quality too.
Literally the only downside is that you need to run the free Editor program to perform splits and layers, doesn't bother me as my studio is also my rehearsal room, so I can have it connected to my computer at all times, however might be an issue for some if you need to carry your laptop around. Otherwise fully recommended with no reservations.

I have had this instrument for a few weeks now and I must say it is a pleasure to play and use. The piano sounds are rich and varied. The EP and organ sounds are also top notch as expected. The hammer action keyboard has a wonderful feel to it. I love the vintage style of all the dials. Not unimportantly, it just looks super cool. The build quality seems very high with no issues to report so far. I haven't used it onstage yet but I'm guessing that it will perform well. I haven't used the MIDI function yet and also have only used the in built speakers (which sound very nice) and headphones. Will connect it to my amp soon and see what happens. There is a lot to learn about this instrument and it will take me more time to master it but hey, that's all part of the fun! If you like vintage organ sounds and rich acoustic piano sounds then you will like this instrument.

The SV-2 s is a wonderful piece of kit! The 73 keyboard seems to suit it better than the 88, in my opinion. Sounds great and there are so many more sounds than the SV-1. My main criticism is that, like my SV-1, the pots are very annoying, when it comes to adjusting effects. You can turn and turn and it only goes up a couple of increments. It’s infuriating. I really wish they had left the aesthetically beautiful toggle on/off switch. The little micro switch is just not the same. Having said all that, I love my Korg and it nestles perfectly alongside my three other Korg synths. Speakers sound great, but of course, only suitable for home use, or very small acoustic gigs.
