I played in a couple of bands with B3 players. Being a sax player with a light load, I was always "volunteered" to be one of the B3 'pall bearers'. And back then we used those huge "voice of the theater" speaker enclosures for the PA.

Things are smaller and lighter now, and that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned. Our heaviest object is probably about 40 pounds or less. The B3 was over 400. But the B3 sounded fantastic. The new B3 simulators sound very good, but not quite the same as that B with a big Leslie speaker - but they sure are portable - which IMHO more than makes up for their slight shortcomings!
