Well it doesn't have 88 keys, but an M-Audio Venom might be up your alley. It's got 49 keys, a grimy, analog-ish, really fun-to-tweak synth engine, a USB audio interface built in that accepts audio from other sources, as well as a midi interface built in. It's a steal at $400 and you can get it for less usually.
Sometimes I still laugh out loud about the beat kangz and that time some English dude hacked the Akai marketing website and stole a bunch of pictures of the Ren before it was released.
