Re: NMCD
Oh OK with the semi-weighted keys I'd say it's a definitely step up from the undeniably plastic feeling synth-action keys of the LX.
My wife has an upright Roland digital piano that has "real" keys on it. They do feel nice, but since I can't play piano to save my life, the plastic toy-like feeling of my little controller doesn't bother me much. I mainly tap in drums with it, but on the occasion that I do attempt to play a synth or piano part, I basically stick to chop-sticks

Nice, glad you're getting it all working to do your bidding! Soon enough you'll be up to this guy's level 
(sorry I can't figure out an easy way to resize the this image)
My little LX has some knobs that I'd learned how to assign through MIDI Learn, but I seem to have unlearned how to do MIDI learn. Most likely you can try to right-click on some function that you want to control in the VSTi and hopefully there's a MIDI Learn option in the context menu that pops up.
As for saving...I guess it's a matter of figuring out whether it's easier to set up the controller to send the MIDI signals that the software expects, or to set up the software to expect whatever the controller is sending. Then figure out how to save it and recall it. I'm at a loss of how to do either. I think Reaper will at least save any things you change in your current project...but I have no idea about the best way to bring all of that setup into your next project.

Re: NMCD
Leslie speeds were often pedal based with a significant "ramp up" & down which is much sort after in VSTi land.
I have a vst that does nothing but Leslie "rotation" and allows automation of speed. volume and something else I can't recall. It was freeeeeee years ago.
