I wish I had bought a few Axis-49 controllers when they were in production. They were a much more reasonable $500 at the time.

You might be interested in the Hexboard. Basically a mini-lumatone for ~$500; main downside is no velocity sensitivity.

I'm quite happy with mine, and play it with the Wicki-Hayden layout.
