Hi, thanks a lot for the reply.

I get what you mean about the difficulties of "the best" keyboard controller, after looking at the M-Audio site ive seen the prokeys 88 keyboard.

This looks ideal to me as it has reported good sounds, a decent authentic piano feel (i have been classically trained) plus i have the option of attaching a sound module.

Before i go ahead and buy it, does anyone know of any problems/issues with M-Audio equipment? There doesnt seem to be a great amount of reviews on the internet.

As for the Yamaha's they sound great keyboards but perhaps a little pricey, anyone know anywhere for second hand goods?

thanks again for the reply,

Sam.
