Are you looking for a natural piano feel or rather "just weighted
keys" ?
For natural piano feel you should check out the Kurzweil range of
controllers/synths. The K2600 is my favorite 88w keyboard when it
comes to natural piano feel but I'm also very happy with the Triton
ProX's keyboard. I guess it's just a matter of taste. Check your local
store and play around a bit :-)
Oh and if I remember correctly Studiologic has also pretty good
controllers 88/w that are built in to their own flightcases and are
not too heavy.
