Rain

I have a Keystation Pro 88.  Unfortunately, it's been in storage because I'm in a small apartment with no room for it.  I like most everything about it.  It worked well with 8.5, once I figured out ACT.  I haven't yet tried it with the X-series.  One thing I noticed was that the keys make a bit of physical noise.  I could even hear it when I had my headphones on.  You should enjoy it though.  Enjoy it and the DSOTM.  

It's quite big, isn't it? I'm used to bare bone little 49 keys which I can tuck away under my desk, and I'll probably keep my current one there for songwriting purposes/quick access. I'll have to order a stand for the 88 and a longer USB cable for it. The room is getting crowded and I'll have to start reconfiguring things sooner or later.
 

It is big.  I intended to take piano lessons, so I wanted at least 76 keys.  I found mine on sale, so I went for it.  I have a regular X type of stand that works pretty well.  You may want to get something sturdier for every day use--especially if you do the multi-tiered thing that Craig suggests.

You seem to be the kind of man who, if he fell into a deep pit full of deadly poisonous snakes, would emerge wearing a really cool pair of snakeskin boots carrying a matching handbag and shoes for the Mrs.

knowing Rain he'd let his Mrs have the handbag as well. (Even if if did match his boots)

Hmmmm! 'When it's Rain, it pours!'

Or he'd have a bunch of new pets who, somehow, help him escape that hole.
