I not only make my own Rhodes Piano plugin and Rhodes shootout videos, I also use and experiment with all the different Rhodes libraries, in quest of the Holy Rhodes tone. The main difference between the two styles is that the suitcase has a built-in amplifier, somewhat similar in design to a Fender Twin.

There are two main styles of the Rhodes piano: Suitcase and Stage, and each come in 73 and 88-key models. The signal from the Rhodes can then be sent to an amplifier or recorded direct-input. The Rhodes is an electromechanical instrument that generates sound via hammers hitting tines which produces magnetic induction in a giant pickup spanning the body of the piano (not unlike the pickups in a guitar). Is an electric piano developed by Harold Rhodes and marketed and sold by Fender, CBS, and Roland. I'm a big fan of Rhodes Piano plugins! Then again, who isn't?
