These aren't either/or, are they?
The Pro-One has both; a j-wire keyboard scanned by a uP.
Anyway, what's the problem with scanning circuits? It's a sensible  
enough way to do it, and gives you flexibility about keyboard modes,  
arpeggiators, etc.

Now if you'd complained about rubber keyboard contacts, that's a  
different story. Scanned or not, they're a pain.
