Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • anything by Arturia or NI is great. (I’m partial to Arturia.)
  • Arturia are great studio tools, but I’ve never used the live.
  • Probably but you’d be surprised how deep the Live integration is with the Arturia. Much better workflow than with Komplete Kontrol.
  • I have now moved to the Arturia side and incredibly satisfied.
  • As an only dedicated midi keyboards I'd go for Arturias. Their build quality is solid, it has 49 and 61 key ranges, and honestly they can do as much as you need with all the encoders and knobs on them.

Cons

  • NGL, I have heard so many horror stories from Arturia customer service that I’d be wary about getting into their product sphere.
  • I felt like the Arturia keybeds were mushy, and not much better than a MicroKorg, despite being much larger.
  • So far, I haven’t found a match in classic FM synths (DX7, DX1, GS2, FVX-1) or plugins (Dexxed, Arturia).
  • I like arturia but I hate that you cant select different +/- pitch bend values on any of their synths.
  • That's the Arturia banana effect.

the support you will get from Arturia would be much, much better than Cobalt. Arturia is a mature company at this point and does an excellent job of supporting its products.
