Right now my wife and I own a Korg SV1. Wonderful electric pianos on it. But all I can think about are Junos

Not much, and only one synth.

Generic Yamaha Digital Piano
Toy Piano
Harmonium
Korg MS-20 Mini

I got the harmonium for the equivalent of 60 US bucks. It sounds kinda awful and it's a pain in the ass to play, but I found it to be a valuable tool for composition, especially writing melodies. I also like how it transports you to an older era.

I've developed a bit of a keyboard habit too. My list goes:

Farfisa Compact Deluxe
DuBreq Stylophone
Crumar Performer
Crumar Roadrunner 2
Casio VL-Tone
Casiotone 202
Casio CT-640
Melissa & Doug Toy Piano
Arturia Microbrute
Yamaha VSS-200

I also have some MIDI modules/samplers:

Roland D110, Kawai K4, E-MU Proteus 2, Akai S900, E-MU e6400, Roland SP404

I can still only play keyboards with my right hand, and not very well at that. Hey, seemed to work just fine for Depeche Mode....

They're stupidly addictive, but luckily I'm running out of room so I have to call the collection quits sooner rather than later.

Access Virus kb with update. Such a beast of a keyboard.

But with KONTAKT running fantastic 3rd party libraries in addition to the incredible Spectrasonic Omnisphere, I can't see myself needing anything much more for the work I do.

So cool! My buddy has one of these and it makes a better bass guitar sound than a bass guitar.
