Polar vs. Full Key TI for small studio

[Doc Jones]

both Timo and Alex make some very good points. I kind of went in the other direction - I have a TI desktop and use my novation x-station 25 for key input (when travelling). This is great for portability, but not so good when you want to work with more octaves (obviously). Like you, I am taking piano lessons, so for that, I picked up a studio logic 880 pro weighted key controller. It's 88 keys, it's heavy, it takes up a lot of room . . . and I love it. The key feel is identical to a real piano. I use it now as my main controller and only use the x-station when I am going on the road. So long story short, definitey give the polar/weighted keyboard some thought as well.
