A semi-weighted may be better for short notes (and percussions), as the dynamic is controlled by velocity.
For longs, it does not matter :)

I was recently forced to buy a an 'auxiliary' keyboard to get to the notes that map articulations in the library that I use (not sure if all/many libraries use this method). My current controller is fine for everything else I do, but lacks the extremes of the range. A full 88-key controller would be the most flexible, space permitting.
