Can anyone give an opinion as to whether the action on the M-Audio is superior (for piano) than the K2600 or not - action is my main concern, and also if I sell the K2600 I'll get a few dollars back to buy more sounds.

It depends a lot on what style you want to play.
The Kurz K2600 was a great instrument when it came out - I never had one, but I had the K2000 which I used for fast playing, given it's pretty good sprung action. Wish I kept it along with my B3.
For slower playing, the K2600 is fine, but when things start to hot up, it's a bit clunky for my taste.
The Studio Logic that Dom mentions - I would throw it out the window as soon as look at it - it's rubbish for any serious keyboard player, but you get what you pay for. Remember, even though a lot of what we do is very short playing by nature of i.e. - samples into a computer - you still need to be able and sit down and play as fluently as you can, for general practice and overall writing purposes. This is where I feel a bit of sympathy for non keyboard players as it's unfortunate that the keyboard has become the interface of choice for computers.
The Yamaha P90 is a very nice keyboard to play like Dom says - I've been looking at that for a while now - that's a really good class action - and you can play fast and slow with no problems really. Very classy instrument, especially for use during writing via computers and samples etc. Cost around £620 ish new I think, although you may see one second hand for less.
I currently use a Korg SG Pro X which has seen better days and it's action is a wrist breaker - so if you see one of them, I would forget it now that things have moved on. And it weighs a ton.
