Diff between Axiom & Oxygen?

Hi ...

Other than the weighted keys, can anyone please explain to me in layman's terms the difference between the Axiom 25 -

and the Oxygen 25 -

Well, I'm almost sure the Oxygen 25 is a more recent model. I don't know on the Oxygen, but the axiom keys are not the best. But it's a really cheap and good MIDI controller. And I don't think you will be performing or playing too much keys, just for reference and play some chords. If I was you, I'd go with the Oxygen. It's more recent. The Axiom has been around for a loooong time.

The Axiom also does some automatic mapping, which is pretty cool when it works.
