microkorg vs korg kontrol 49

okay.
so i've been trying to decide between these two.
i pretty much use programs to make beats and stuff you know.
(i'm trying to make a "the secret handshake", "playradioplay", "broken toy airplanes" type of stuff)
i use programs like reason, fl studio, logic, garageband.
you know.
so i guess what are the pro's and con's and what would be better to use long run and just over for what i want to do.
thank you.

to be honest both are wonderful and great, pretty much the same BUT! the one big diffrence for me (since i use to have the micro and now have the 49) is the KEYS! the feel of the keys on the 49 are MUCH better then the feel of the tiny microkontrol keys, totally worth the 200 more bucks to get the 49 (keys matter since im a piano player, but they may not to you if your not) but all in all get the 49

people.
i'm seriously just looking for your input on what you use your micro or kontrol49 for and how well it works for you.
so this is pretty much a topic about what you use your instrument for and how well it works for you and whats the pro's and con's about it.
to just put in your two cents.

I have both. I've been using the 49 to control the microkorg because the keys are WAY too small. And I use the 49 to control ableton Live.

49 all the way, the kmobs on the micro tend to have problems
