E-MU XBoard - anyone seen/tried/own one?

Hi there,
i'm interested in buying one of E-MU's new XBoard range of midi
keyboard controller. The prices seem unbelievable bearing in mind they have aftertouch 9ie
£99 for 49 keys, midi control knobs, inbuilt USB midi & aftertouch!)
I'm
interested in the feel of the keyboard & also how easy it is to program the onboard knobs
to control VSTis.
Anyone here used one?

I have one (xboard 25), and although the Mac driver software is not as stable as it should
(it crashed once), I had no difficulty at all controlling my Absynth softsynth after just
a few minutes of tweaking, and without looking at the manual (perhaps that was the reason
the driver software crashed...). The feel of the keyboard is great, and as far as I can
tell, the build quality is fine as well.
Cheers,
Vincent

I read one review on Harmony Central, and it was a bad one. It agreed, though, that the
keyboard feel was great. I'm hoping they release a 76-key model, because it was really
great to have 76 semi-weighted keys (same keys as on Novation's Supernova II and X-Station
25) on their fantastic E-Synth.
