I bought a M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 and I like it. Yeah, it's cheap plastic 'junk', and I don't dare try to take it to a gig, because it'll probably fall apart, but for home recording it gives me 88 weighted keys and lots of buttons and knobs to assign to AMS parameters.

Is there KORG or CME equivalent that I missed when I was shopping for this thing? It ain't too late for me to put the thing up on Craigslist and get rid of it, if there's a better alternative out there I should be looking at.
