well none of your links work from what i gather ..
keyboards.. all of the ones you have listed with the exception on the microkontrol are budget keyboards.. and if all your gonna be doing is beating the occasional key to hear what your doing, then you wont need more than 25 - 32 keys, maybe a couple of knobs and a slider or 2.
i personally have an edirol pcr30, which i love to death. got a deal on it from ebay so i went with it.
m-audio makes very decent keyboards for a decent price although i have heard many people from many different places say that the keys feel "plasticy" although i have no idea what that means.
i havet had any personal expieriance with anything other than my edirol so i cant give you sound advice on anything else.
my best advice is to hit the major online distributers of things like this ..
musicians friend sweetwater pssl and read the customer reviews.

sorry about the links not working for some strange reason.
well ive done some research from the reviews and eliminated some of the midi keyboards and i was left with this...
the title says m-audio but then it also says evolution in the description, what brand is it. they even have that on the official midiman site and also m-audio site.
here is the link
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/M-Audio-MK-425C-MI...1QQcmdZViewItem
what you all think, yes or no?

if you plan to use it only at home and do not have any preferences about certain sounds from classic synths then I'd say get a simple midi controller.
You might need loads of RAM for VSTis later but all in all it is so much more flexible.
Both M-Audio and E-Mu look a bit cheap but work fine. I do not know alesis ones. Mackie is a good brand too.
