From what I understand Leslie cabinets are A GIANT FREAKING HASSLE. They weigh a ton and the motor is prone to issues. If you're running a studio the investment might be worth it, but if you're just looking for the specific effect a good stereo Chorus pedal and a pair of amps should be able to emulate it nicely.

Can't really comment much about the pianos aside from personal anecdotes. The baby picture of me playing a keyboard in my journal thread is a customized Fender Rhodes, just the bass end of the piano. Apparently Ray Manzarek from The Doors had a similar setup. I thought it was awesome.

Also Hammond organs are heavy as hell, so just like the Leslie, not exactly something you want to have to move around a lot.
