i took you as being elitist because you mentioned 4-hand techniques and you're from austria. this can only mean one thing: classicist.
and yeah i wanted a MIDI keyboard over a device that primarily uses pads because keys are definitely the most intuitive for me. i played guitar for about 8 years and, although it's pretty different, a lot of the scales and general-dexterity skills carry over. so keys are good. i actually have a microkorg analogue synthesizer already, but the keys are even smaller (if you can believe), and so its a pain for MIDI. great for putting out some analogue sounds, though! which always come at a premium in today's digital-everything producing.
next up on the pads front is one of these:
for sampling/splicing and advanced drum programming. also hooks up amazingly as a step sequencer/arpeggiator for live DJ performances. not for another month or so though...
