When playing glissandos it is faster of course, an if the have a pressure out that is cool too. Basically you are changing the possible future mechanical failure of standard keyboards for the future electrical failure of the touch sensitive ones. Also some designs of touch keyboards rely on capacitance and in RF noisy environments can give false triggers etc. I personally think the rest of the TKS would work better with a plain keyboard for me.
