That's true, but you're missing the most important part, Bruce. Features,
controls, flexibility, all are meaningless if the keybed doesn't have real
aftertouch. No aftertouch = poo poo ca ca keyboard! So go get a Novation
ReMOTE 25 and be HAPPY TODAY!

Now I have to start lobbying for a portable MIDI controller keyboard with POLY
aftertouch... :)
