Beginner MIDI keyboard?

    So I'm looking for a cheap but decent 25 key MIDI keyboard and I've found two that look good but I'm not sure which one is better...

    AKAI MPK MINI:

    M-AUDIO OXYGEN 25:

    I mainly make (or at least try to make) drum n bass, dubstep and a bit of house. I also like to mess around and make Hip Hop beats every now and then.

    So I'm wondering would the MPC style pads on the AKAI or the Mod. Wheel and Pitch bend wheel on the Oxygen be more beneficial to me? Which keyboard do you guys think is better in general?

    And if you have any suggestions for MIDI keyboards of a similar price that you think are better than those two, could you please post them? Cheers.

    I was going to get an oxygen but i went to the ozonic instead. Right balance of plenty of keys and faders and portability imo.

    It's fare wrecked now but I still use it daily.
