Yes. But you can cope with few keyboards. For example a workstation, Indigo2, Nord G2 and Microwave XTk gives all sounds you need. That way you need only two two-level keyboard stands, which is not that bad.

Also, when my band plays live, we have four keyboards in a big U shape onstage (all played by the keyboardist); it looks really cool (BUT you really have to be careful what you do onstage so you're not constantly running into the keyboard rig, lol).

That sounds nice. We also planned (can't actually call it as planning because it is quite utopistic idea) to form a progband with drummer, bass player and three keyboardists (one Hammond, one piano/Rhodes/other as needed player and one player with a VA/other as needed). Just to give some counter force to the drummer-bass player-guitarist bands. That of course will never happen due the lack of players, but it would look quite cool and it would sound bloody good.

Hmm, I was also wondering how many of you own the Alesis Ion. I'm thinking I might need one of those...any insight?

That Ion seems very nice. Haven't tried out one though. There have been rumours of really crappy mechanical quality in those things. Crappy knobs, etc.
