Feature:
You will be hard pressed to find a controller with this many features in this price range. Tons of sliders and knobs. More parameters to tweak than most 88-key controllers.
Quality:
Looks mean, is absolutely HUGE and heavy. Blue backlight to screen and buttons. Key feel is good for this price range, but it is not a piano by any means, but again, look at features for cost here, and keys are weighted (but seem to bounce I agree). Does not look cheap at all.
Value:
The most functions in this price range, or even against a higher price range for that.
Desirability:
Looks like something you would not be embarrased with to use on stage.
Sound:
No sounds, controller only. Sounds depend on software.
Support:
Have not had any previous M-Audio gear, but their web-site appears easy to use.
Overall:
Just buy it. Forget something smaller with less functions for a bit less.

Feature:
Would be nice if like the Evolution it had templates that lable nobs and sliders for common uses. so many knobs i get lost. I usually program a four or five to do common functions on several instruments.

Another thing that would be cool, if the LED display could be configured so that if you dont want to see every midi message its sending. Maybe you just want it to hang out and relax. I would also like to change the colors of the back light on occasion. Im happy that it is back lit! dont get me wrong.
Quality:
I had to return one. Luckily it was in the first years warranty. The keys were sticking (only comming 1/2 way back up). And they have some springy noises in them.
Its not built for the road, but I use it at the big gigs. Made a custom case for it. Lighter than my 90lbs controller, but 40lbs plus another 20 for case and accessroies, its a beast to move. But its 88 weighted keys.
Value:
I believe it is the cheapest 88 key controller with the most knobs and sliders. but you get what you pay for. they didnt put in any supperior craftsmanship here. but it does a fair job.
Desirability:
I saw one guy who did his own repairs on his. while he had it all in peices, he went ahead and put a sweet paint job on it. I think the silver trend is comming to an end or going going gone already.
Sound:
I read one reviewer saying that it has sound. Yeah mine also has alot of noise in the key action.
Ease of Use:
It took me a while to learn to use it. I am more hands on learner, but i kept the manual handy for the first several months.
Support:
Even though I was happy that they were so easy to get an exchange (fast too) but the new keyboard keys are still a little springy sounding. No sticky keys yet, but this one is still young.
Overall:
Ill definately play this thing into the dirt, but that might be sooner than Id like. but the trend of cheap keyboard controllers out there. I try not to get too attached to it. its just a piece of plastic, wires and whatever else.
