nord lead 2x or 3

[adrian23]

i'm thinking of getting a nord, but not quite sure which one. i'll be able to play with the 2x today, but not the 3 so i can't really tell the difference myself. from what i know the 3 has an amazing user interface, but a lot of people say it doesn't sound like a 1 or 2. so, when i play with the 2x again should i assume it sounds nearly identical to 3?
really appreciate a quick response, since i'll be checking out the 2x today, and if liking it, i'll buy it.
thanks,
adrian

btw, got rid of my m-audio POS (piece of sh#$) and replaced with with apogee ensemble. god what a difference! made the mackies sound like half decent monitors!
