Actually, I've seen one used as a live main controller by the very 
professional Aussie band (now defunct?) Primary.  I think he (Jamie 
Fonti, well-respected muso and producer) used it purely as a MIDI 
keyboard to play a rack-mount sampler - guess he didn't need velocity 
(don't get me wrong when I say "samples" though, they were mainly 
instrument samples for actual "playing", not a "hold down the sample 
key" type thing...)
Come to think of it, I think this was the catalyst for me wanting to get 
a poly again.  Took me a couple of years to track one down for the right 
price though...
