I have a Rodgers (I think it's an Essex 640) that I picked up two or three years ago for $5K from the original owner. I had to find something with self-contained speakers due to lack of space in my apt. It has performed well and meets my needs for a practice instrument. The built-in reverb is pretty good, too. The spec has enough variety that I don't get totally bored with it. In fact, sometimes I go out to sub at churches and wish they had my machine rather than whatever is in the church, even sometimes with pipe organs. The console is solid and it has a nice action. For that kind of budget, I think it was a very good solution for me. I would certainly recommend it to someone looking for a decent home organ on a budget.
