Wow, it lives :-) The thread is alive.
Thank you everyone.
Indeed I am no keyboard whiz, and only played around with soft synths, plus I've been reading and watching/listening to reviews for a year or so. I love the logical layout of keyboards though (guitar and bass are my current main instruments) so it will be fun learning to play.
Okay, so the Ion is a pretty safe prospect, and the large modwheels were actually the only thing I liked about it on first look. As for its sounds, I'll have to listen to more demos to find something I like. The MS 2000 has sounds I know I love, same as the JP 8k.
There's a L2x keyboard locally for around $1000.
There's one L2 rack for $550 too.
I was seriously considering an MFB system including a Nano plus either a Micro or Kraftzwerg or Megazwerg, with a controller keyboard, but I would run over budget with even two modules, so I decided a decent VA would be a better first synth.
I will have to read up on the uses of MIDI... :-/
