That sounds a whole lot closer to the Phoenix Baroque specs I previously posted; whereas the published specs you are looking at for the PT243 are for the Romantic spec. So perhaps, like me, you would probably set up the organ with Baroque as default. Of course your preferred stops are all on the sound cards, and easy to change.
As for the swell Diapasons, unlike the Choir and Great Diapasons, Phoenix uses prominent diapasons with narrower more horn like characteristics, making it quite useful for solo work.
This is the default Romantic list for my III/44, with a lot of Harrison & Harrison stuff.

Not that Classic's electronic ability was all that great. With my Classic Organ, normal monthly maintenance included replacing fried final/output transistors. 
Your mention of Don being a piano tuner, although enlightening, is not at all surprising. When scouting for a new organ on the internet:
Since I never played it, my wife was in favour of calling it a day for organs in our home.
With a badly designed organ which merely sounds bad . . . no matter what; the tendency is to push the pedal to the metal! Obnoxious amplified a thousand times, is still obnoxious!
