Speculation on my part, but perhaps its the width of the keys? 

Having now met Ed in person I can attest he has very large 
hands - the width of the AN1x keys is narrow compared to other 
keyboards. I have small hands with narrow fingers and find the 
touch of the AN1x very nice - but I prefer the weight of the keys on 
the old Korgs (Wavestation to be specific.)

The D50 had a real organ like feel, IMO. The D10 and D20 had 
even worse keyboards if memory serves.
