The ION keyboard is a step below the MS2000 keyboard IMHO and both 
are inferior to the AN1x (again, IMO.)  However, both the ION and the 
MS2K offer a plethora of knobs which makes the programming/playing 
experience far more immediate than the AN1x.  Each of them have their 
own character so you much to choose from sound wise.
