    I would go with Roland A-800 PRO. But, for piano, I would get a full 88 keys, and invest in either a used Kurzweil K2500/K2600 (w/ or w/o sampler), SP4-8, or Artis SE 88. Anything Kurzweil w or w/o weighted keys is way above Akai or Novation keybeds, feel and quality.

    My older brother has been using this for quite some time (can't seem to wrestle this out of his gnarled hands) <lol>:

    Kontrol S61. Besides the NI stuff it offers, it works great in user mode and the knobs/sliders can easily be arranged in the controller editor. Load multiple templates (for Different DAWs or workflows) into the keyboard and its kept into memory and easily switched on the fly. The aftertouch and feel of keybed is great. I wouldn't buy for retail price tho. Look around for good condition.
