What hardware synth with Midi has the best rhode sound ?

Please give reasons and examples why you feel your pick is the best.
Please , do not say the real rhodes because it can not play back Midi .

In my quest looking for the best rhodes sound, I 1st had to find out why I love that sound so much .
It seems that a big part of why I love that Rhodes sound is this low end bark and growl that comes out while playing
with a beautiful sparkly top end and warm middle .
With great effects like tremolo wha-wha panning etc.. .
I do Love my Rhodes on my Oasys and JP-80 but I just wanted to know who you feel does it best and why .

Peace

I have voted for the Kronos. However, I have to admit I don't know the sounds of all others. However, I know the Kronos is far more better than the ones in my Korg X5, N264, Triton Extreme (logical) but also my M50 (equal sound as m3) so in one generation the EP sound has improved a lot.
