"Big church organ sound on a small church budget."

I am sure we will keep this at least as long as we are in our current building. We eventually plan to build a new church, and at that time will probably look into getting something like the Roland C-330, which costs about three times what the Nord costs. Even then we will probably keep the Nord and use it in our choir room.
Overall our congregation is very pleased with it and so happy to have an organ once again. It finally sounds like "church" again.
Sound
We got the Nord C2 for our church. We came from a building with a multi-million dollar pipe organ and have been using a piano ever since we got into our new building. WE really missed the pipe organ but didn't want a cheezy "synthesized" organ. I have to say the sound on the Nord is very impressive. You can actually hear the air going through the pipes! We have a member of our choir who is a real organ purist, and even he said that the Nord sounded better than he thought it would. Now, I must admit it doesn't sound as good as our old organ, but for the price it can't be beat. It is also in tune, which we could never really say about our old organ.
Features
The Nord offers tons of ways to customize the sound which is really great. The option to add a pedalboard is also very nice, although we haven't added one yet. Two manuals is a definate plus and the feel is just like a real pipe organ. Portability is also very nice. Now our organist can take it home with him to practice, certainly not an option with a real pipe organ.
Ease of Use
With lots of features comes a bit of a learning curve, but for the most part it is pretty intuitive and easy to figure out.
Quality
Everything works well and as advertised. This is definately not a toy.
Value
Definately worth every penny. The sound is so close to a real pipe organ that I don't think we'll every spend the millions to get a pipe organ again. Not only that, we don't need a trust fund to maintain it!
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to use the support yet.
The Wow Factor
For a rock band it looks great. For a church, the bright red color leaves a little something to be desired. We are planning to build a wooden case to "hide" it a little better.
