Midi Controller for FL4

[asfix]

I've been playing with FruityLoops for some years now, but always with version 1. Now I'm interested in learning it wright with version 4 and use it more seriously. For that I will buy a Midi controller. In the beginning I was thinking to buy DREHBANK from Doepfer. Than, after some searching on these products and because of financial restrictions I've decided to buy a controller with knobs but also faders and a keyboard (although I won't play keyboard but only use it basically to set some melodies and bass-lines, eventually...). I'm expecting to pay not more than 200€ for the controller.

My doubt in the moment is between EDIROL PCR-30 and EVOLUTION MK-249C. Evolution seems a bit better (it as more keys -it's not so important for me - and more knobs - that's important! - but no faders...). However I have this idea that Edirol is a better brand and therefore worth buying it (besides it's supposed to be "prepared" for FL and I don't know how Evolution will behave on FL).

Can someone give me an advise (based on his/her experience)? Eventually even some other controller... Remember I'm using FL4 (eventually Reason in the future...)

Thank you!

Here's the one I use:

It's never given me any trouble at all, and the knobs are very easy to assign to Reason parameters. I use Reason every day with this small keyboard as my only melodic input device and it suits me quite well. FL is a simpler program (which I also use) so I know this lil' monster works well with FL too.

Thanks mate! But actually I also checked that one and the price difference between Oxygen and the two I've refered is not so big, plus Oxygen has only one fader (and less keys, but that's ok...). Besides I read the knobs aren't that sensitive... is it true?

Dunno - they seem fine to me...

Maybe I'm not getting what you mean by 'sensitive'?
