I'm happy with my 2 1/2 octave Edirol PCR-30. Good keyboard and no noticeable delay over USB (except when I tried to plug it into a USB hub). I think the only concerns over USB delay are with Audio, not MIDI (but I'm happy to be corrected). Pretty cheap at around $160 new these days, so used prices should be very reasonable.
