I think I may have found just the thing: The xiosynth from Novation. Ithink you can get it for around £190 new (4 octave version). It doesanalogue modeling, and apparently also has some sampled sounds. In theend I bought a second hand yamaha an-1x which has a very nice solidlybuilt keyboard - 5 octaves with aftertouch , and good (analoguemodeled) sounds. I paid £210 for it.
