Roland Edirol PCR-500...any good?

Heya guys..

Well..I wanted to delve into the market to buy an affordable midi controller/keyboard with excellent specs..and wanted ur help.

Well...I'm going to use the controller for both normal production AND learning to play music notes..etc (play the piano), and I came about with the Roland Edirol PCR-500..44 keys I think..with an affordable price.

Any suggestions/feedback on the Edirol + other stuff?

Thanks guys!

Cheers

Edirol PCR-500

Good point: It supports SYSEX so it is possible to create presets for hardware synths.
Roland delivers virtual PG300 (Alphajuno / MKS50 controller) to use with it.

Somehow i dont like keyboard action at all. I also bought it for both; learning real playing and to control synths and softs.
I think i have to sell this and buy another one.
Keys resists too much when trying play it. I assume that is because they have tried to make light, weightless plastic keys feel like they are weighted ones.

So i am a bit dissapointed with it. I just cant play it. =/
