Yes, yes and thrice, yes! If you want, for example to have a full-keyboard piano sound in a song and play an organ solo halfway through, a single split keyboard just doesn't cut it. Sure, you can overdub the solo, but then you lose the spontaneity. I have a Studiologic SL-880 MIDI keyboard (88 keys, weighted, hammer action) driving an Alesis NanoPiano module, with a Danelectro "Tuna Melt" pedal for electric piano tremolo, and above it a Casio CZ-1 synthesiser (61 keys, synth action) for organ and synth sounds running into a Danelectro "Rocky Road" Leslie simulator. It works well, and you can couple the CZ to the 88-note keyboard via MIDI for layers.
