Yeah, I definitely agree. Touch sensitive is kind of essential, but properly weighted keys are basically only a good idea for electric pianos, where the idea is recreating the sound and feel of a real piano.
Shit I want a Micokorg. Get the damn Microkorg.
KvP:
I think I'm getting a Microkorg. I'll use the remaining funds for either Chi-town spending cash or a Kaossilator.
Dazed:
No no no, you should listen to this guy and

If you're using velocity, it's much harder to control without weighting - that's the point, not that it's like a piano (and anyway most aren't, really).

Yeah, the pianos in my school's tech lab have velocity without weighting, and that is an ungodly mess. You pretty much ending up having to pound on everything to get some semblance of a uniform volume, because playing dynamics on them is hopeless.
