The CME UF8 88key had, IIRC, two zones of aftertouch, which was nice. It also weighed as
much as a Rhodes 73. But had the best feel of any keyboard I've ever played, due to
real hammers. Watch out though: the little rubber switches for the keys wear out, causing
dead notes, and getting the correct part from CME can take months (I know this from
personal experience).
My Novation 61-key has aftertouch (one zone). Dunno if Novation makes an 88-key, but if
they do, I'd venture a guess it also has aftertouch.
I wrote a Python script to convert aftertouch to pitch bend, and use it constantly now.

or does it appear that the only 88-key MIDI
controller available with
aftertouch is the Akai MPK88?
A quick search on thomann.de shows a bunch of other ones:
CME UF80
CME UF80 Classic
DOEPFER LMK2+ 88T USB
DOEPFER LMK4+ USB
Fatar Studiologic NUMA Nero
Fatar Studiologic VMK-88 plus
Fatar Studiologic VMK-188 Plus
KURZWEIL PC3 K
KURZWEIL PC3 X
KURZWEIL PC3LE 8
(Some are more (i.e., more expensive) than just controllers.)
