EX 73 or 88 key version?

[Col66]

Hi,

I'm going to buy my 1st synth and have decided upon the Krome EX. I'm just wondering whether I should buy the 73 or 88 key version. I don't know if the 88 key version is necessary. Obviously you get more notes and a different/better action but other than that will I notice any practical difference if I buy the 73 note version?

Has anybody bought the 73 key version then regretted that they didn't buy the 88?
The money I save will go towards a replacement laptop to run software and perhaps some software such as the BBC SO Core from Spitfire. I'm intending to use the Korg as a MIDI Controller as well as an instrument.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Cheers,

Col.
