A Casio through a Leslie sounds more like a B3 than a Hammond through a� motionless PA speaker.
This whole deal hits home for me.
My main axe is a homebuilt FrankenClone based on a Voce V3and runs through my homebrew Bride of FrankenLeslie speaks (the rig description is long ;-)� I have a micro-B and micro-BII, also but they don't get out much.� In Frank is also a Kurzweil microPiano.
I throw the VFX-SD on top for all the great synth sounds that�Frank doesn't do, so getting a B3 on the Ensoniq isn't gonna get it for me ;-)
If a guy hadda MS pro3, then the microB should sound dandy and give you more flexibility than relying strictly on the VFX.� I'm sure there's one or two "Hammond sounds" the VFX can do better, but overall, I'd give the nod to the microB.� Add on a set of Voce drawbars and it'll become REAL apparent.

Bill,
I have a Micro B II and the sounds are good (GOOD). I found that I use my ensoniq settings (both SD-1 and TS) and not the Voce unit. In my opinion the real sound of the B-3 is found more in the Leslie,�than in�the sample/patch. I picked up a motion sound pro3tm (it has a rotating horn) and using stock patches veterans in my band jaws dropped. For what it's worth,

What are the best B3 w/ Leslie patches you guys have come up w/? I'm
looking for factory or modified factory patches. Has anyone done any
tweaking and created a better mousetrap?

If not, what is a good B3 emulation that is affordable? I just lost a
Voce Micro-B II on ebay for $240 - is that the most bang for the buck?
