It all depends on your needs and budget I would say....
I got my self a CME UF-80 (88 weighted keys) a couple of weeks ago.
I like the feel of it and being a masterkeyboard, it has split and dual functions and a couple of faders and rotary knobs to control with....

good luck

I have just seen that Yamaha is presenting a new series of
master-keyboards at NAMM 2008.

From the naming (KX-8) I suppose the 88-key-version is
supposed to be a direct successor of the old KX-88
masterkeyboard from the 80s.

From what I have read so far, this keyboard is USB-bus-
powered (hope they also provide MIDI IN & OUT), has
a piano-like keybed with graded hammers and costs
around Euro 600,-

If the keybed is in the same area of quality as the old
KX88 was, it is a steal...
