The NEKO and MIKO are nothing like the Mediastation. Open Labs products are essentially just a PC running Windows put into a shell with a music keyboard, QWERTY keyboard, LCD screen, and some real time knobs. Unfortunately the integration of these controls isn't great and its not very intuitive. Don't get me wrong, the Open Labs gear works just fine and sounds great but they aren't for the faint of heart.

The Mediastations integration of real time controls, its 24 BIT sound card, and the GUI in general are fantastic and with each update Dom keeps making it better and better. For anyone wanting a one keyboard solution to do sample playback, synthesis, VST playback, audio recording, video recording, and so much more, the Mediastation can't be beat. The sheer horsepower of this Linux based system hasn't even met its full potential yet.
