Need help buying a midi controller

[Pumpkin King]

I'm looking to buy a portable midi controller for my mac. I already have a Korg Triton Extreme, but that beast is so damn heavy, haha. Not portable whatsoever.

I'm looking for a midi controller that has at least 61 keys, semi-weighted I guess. I don't think that pads and knobs would be necessary, I already have the korg nanopad and nanokontrol. I would prefer a joystick rather that the pitch bending and modulation wheels. But that isn't a necessity.

Any recommendations?

It's still 33lbs but what about this:

A second hand Roland A-33 might be worth looking into (76 keys, very light, semi weighted feel). Roland style joystick rather than Korg. Only one slider.

The CME things are fine - the 61 or 76 key ones can be had second hand. No joystick.

Thanks for the reply.

The Fatar Studiologic keyboard seems interesting. I'll be taking a look into that. But I'm not sure why the joystick is place near the center of the keyboard..

I was also looking at m-audio controllers. But I've heard mixed reviews on them.

But I think it'd be best to go to a store and test some out, which I may do.
