The question sounds a bit strange. It sounds as if you care primarily about what gear you own, and not about what you get out of it. Anyway, if I apply the information that you provided to my situation, then there are two important aspects for evolving the gear:

• I would commit to one primary keyboard, because a deep understanding of one keyboard is often more valuable than a shallow understanding of 3 keyboards ("spreading too thin").
• I would consider redundancy so that I have a fallback if there is a problem with my main keyboard, and so that I can have them in multiple places without constantly moving them.

An option is to get a used Montage 7 (classic), use it as main keyboard, and program it so that it can be used standalone or in combination with the Electro as auxiliary keyboard. The Montage adds a high-quality and versatile action, which would be the most important thing for me that is missing with your gear. I would use the MODX as redundancy, keep it identical to the Montage, use it for small gigs, and use it at home for programming.

I would sell the CK61 and the FA06 to fund the Montage. The FA06 is too time consuming to program. The CK61 seems to add basically no value to all the other gear.
