I will probably be buying another keyboard sometime in the future...all I been using past 2 years is a Roland JX-305... from what I've heard/been reading, it will probably be one of these 3... any help/advice in the following categories, or anything else to add will be much appreciated.

1. SOUNDS- most important- how do the sounds compare with each other?

2. Sequencers/samplers- capabilities, user-friendliness, ease of use... do the sequencers & samplers match up to something like a MPC? I been planning on buying a sampler, probably a MPC (confused about 2XL, 3, or wait until I get paid and cop the 4 if it turns out to be a winner), but if either of these are good function good enough as a sampler/sequencer, might as well save the $$$ (especially if I go with the Pro-X or M8 which are $2600-2700 each)

3. Keys (Yamaha & Korg only)- I definitely would like a keyboard wtih real piano keys- I dont mind using keyboard keys when I'm producing a typical beat, but when I'm playing piano parts, I like the feel of hammer action keys... how do they feel on the 2?

4. Value- Once again the Triton and Motif's aint cheap.. and I seen the ASR on ebay from as low as $400 up to like $900- what does it typically sell for? Read somewhere that D'Angelo used the ASR for a few joints on Brown Sugar...

may be another topic I'm forgetting...feel free to add on
also- what is the Triton Studio? just read about it on a post below...
and the Triton LE- what features of the Triton does it NOT have? Dont think I'd buy it, if I'm gonna spend the money might as well get the Pro-x.. know it doesnt have sampling- but its optional for $200? Thats only $1500 (1300 for the kb, 200 for sampling option), and the stndrd Triton sells for $2000..what else is it missing?
 
the motif 8 is the only one with real piano keys... it also generally kicks the crap out of the triton with expandabillity and capabillities... more memory, better sampler, better sequencer.. no touch screen though... imo better sounds too... the asr is perhaps a bit outdated, it doesn't really allow you to mess around with the samples...
