2 things.

1 - you get what you pay for.

2 - Use this thought process…IMHO, it works best.

  • Start by thinking about what you want (in this case, knobs, pads, LCDs, how many keys, weighted/semi-weighted/unweighted, action, auto-mapping for controls if it has them, hardware arpeggiators, build quality, pitchbend/mod wheels/joysticks, etc.)
  • start looking for products that have what you want: make a list.
  • See if you can go play with them in a store that has them set up in a way that lets you see if they match your expectations (this step is usually pretty hard)
  • see what sacrifices you’re willing to make to fit it in your budget. (this step is even harder)
  • buy the best compromise.

I think that works for basically anything.
