Hi,

For what it's worth, I have the 61 note version of the M-Audio MK, and the key action feels very cheap and toy-like. In retrospect, I wish I'd saved a few more pennies to get a controller with a firmer, synth style semi-weighted design. (I've read that both of the other boards you mention have superior keybeds, but haven't tried them.)

But if you just need a midi editing tool, the 449C will certainly do the job. Plus, it has dedicated pitch and mod wheels instead of a joystick...

Michael
