I'm currently using a CME UF8. I've only had it a few months, but so far I'm happy with it.
I went around some keyboard shops to try out various fully weighted 88 note keyboards, but a few things swung it for me with the UF8. One of the main reasons was that my other main choice in my price range, a Studiologic, had an action that was a little bit heavy for my liking. The other thing that gave it the edge over the Studiologic were the sliders/knobs, sequencer control buttons (play/record/ff etc.), and the breath controller input.
Having said that, there are several current "issues" with it however. The USB driver is pretty awful and I get lots of stuck notes (this is a common problem with the Windows driver and an update is on the way apparently), so I'm using the MIDI output. However with this the sequencer control buttons only sends MIDI Beat Clock and my sequencer sync's to this, so tempo has to be adjusted using a knob on the keyboard. Maybe it's just me but I really hate this! There is an app you can put between the MIDI input and your sequencer that will change these signals to CC commands so that sorts it.
Just my 2 cents...
