Michael!

	Thanks for the input.  I did NOT order the 88Pro.  I live in a rural
coastal area - and have to drive 3 hours to get somewhere I can try 
these
things out!  But it sounds like it is not for me.  I am looking for as 
close
to a Good Piano Keyboard feel as I can find.  All I need out of it is
to be used as a keyboard only - nothing else - but I do need USB output!
There is probably no such thing out there!  But thanks for the input!
