Qyestion about Midi Controllers

Hey i am looking to buy a new midi controller keyboard. I am using Logic 5.5 pc. and i am currently using an Edirol PCR-50. and some of the keys stopped working and ive tried reading up and its a common problem. I am looking to buy a new one.. I wanted to know if theres anything out there thats really nice and someone can recommend to me.. I guess in the price range of $200 or less would be cool.. It doesnt need to be another Edirol.. I am also using an M-Audio Audiophile Sound card if it makes any difference. I am looking to purchase it asap. So whenever i get a response i will go get one...

Thanks again for your help

Joe

M -Audio has some about that 200 bucks range, that look pretty good, above all Oxygen 49.

I have an E-MU X-Board 49, and i got that less than 200 bucks, for like $169. It has full sized keys and they don't feel like that POS casio style keys of the M-Audio controllers.They have little metal things under the keys so they have an ''aftertouch'' or so feel to it. Either way, i love this controller. Had it for about over a year and it still works great for me. Theres a 25 key version, a 49 and a 61. Check it out =]

Honestly ive had my eye on the X-Board 49 .. i was def interested in getting it.. But i wanted to make sure that it was a good one. and maybe there was something out there better. But from what i see the X-board will probably be my pick... If anyone thinks otherwise let me know...
