Help me choose between these 4 MIDI controllers

Can't really choose actually so I need the help of experienced users.. I found these 4 interesting MIDI controllers, all in the same price class, somewhere between 150 and 200 euros:

CME UF-5

MK 449

PCR M30

Radium 49

Or maybe you know some even better ones than those I just mentioned, within the same price class?

has anyone tried the Novation remote SL? (25 key model)

From what iv read i would choose between the CME and the Edirol.
If i had to choose i would go the CME for sure.

What about an m-audio axiom?

I'd probably go for the Edirol M30, but the CME just looks the part, ya know?

I have the MK 449, its pretty good conscidering the price over here. The sliders and knobs are a bit cheap but they work (they dont go turn/slide as easily as in a mixer or something). Im happy with my keyboard. But I bought it to do some digital home dj'ing as well, and the knobs/sliders are not suitable for those purposes as they dont go smooth enough as in real dj mixers (perhaps im just used to those).

I wouldn't buy that edirol because it has not enough keys for my needs.
That CME looks great, but I'd advise you to go to your local dealer and try them out. Try the buttons and faders and see what quality they are.
