I used to have a luverly Doepfer LMK 1V2 master keyboard, up until a few days ago when the guy who owns it took it away.

Now I'm looking for recommendations for a replacement with the following characteristics:

-> it should be a work-a-day synth i.e. not just a master keyboard but with it's own sounds and something that can take a bit of hammer
-> I already have a Roland JV1080 so it would be nice if the sounds were of a different ilk.
-> at least 66 keys, preferably 88
-> not be too expensive (i.e. less than 400 Euros that's 277 pounds sterling or 507 US Dollars)
-> as many sounds as possible.
-> on no account should it have built in speakers so nothing in the "cheapo home organ" range - it has to be a semi professional or a professional piece of gear (whatever that means)
-> I don't necessarily need "piano-feel" but things like aftertouch would be nice.

I have no preferences as to which make.

I would be grateful for any suggestions. Here's one to start you off - a friend of mine has a Roland D50 which would be nice except I suspect the sounds are quite similar to the Roland 1080 I already have.

Cheers
