I use a Prophecy, which has an excellent left hand section, with a 
Pro 4.  You can wire up an adapter to convert the 6-pn DIN in the 
back, or buy the Korg pedal built for it, to switch portamento, 
sustain, etc.

I'm not a big fan of MIDI keyboards that aren't synths, there a ton 
of them on the market -- from cheap little gizmos like the Oxygen 8 
to 88-key full-weighted keyboards.  Some of them have USB in addition 
to MIDI.

What I would love to see is a USB or Firewire CV-converter that 
avoids the limitations of MIDI.
