controller?

I plan on getting a new controller keyboard for Sonar 8.5 and wanted to know if anyone is using a Novation SL MKII. Im considering one of these controllers because of the automap feature which appears to be convenient. Any opinions on these would be helpful. I mainly want to control Omnisphere,Trilian, and the cakewalk instruments.
Thanks, Paul

    I'm looking at controllers also.  For about the same $$$ Roland makes the A-800 PRO:

    Yeah, I considered the A800 as well, and it may be built better... but I like the automap software and included templates with Novation that I thought would work well with synths that have several knobs.

    Yeah, the auto-mapping does sound interesting, however, since the A-800 Pro is make by Roland I was wondering if it might not interface a bit better with SONAR.  In fact, I think it comes with a crippled version of SONAR.  I don't know...there are several choices out there in that price range including one from M-Audio.
