Yes, I mentioned Matias' Tactile Pro above. Alas, my funds are a bit low to be buying a keyboard that nice (I'm really shooting to get an iPad when they come out).
The Yamaha Clavinovas are probably the best-designed electric keyboards ever made. The real levers and hammers make me feel like I'm playing a real piano. As to sound, with the built-in speaker, quality is OK, but put on headphones or run them through an amp, and there's no real noticeable difference between a real piano and a Clavinova. I was a bit surprised when I put headphones on for the first time with one of these things—I thought they weren't working because the sound was so balanced, natural, and lifelike. Only after I took them off and tried playing again did I realize that the sound was coming through the headphones. If the AEK and Model M are as close to typing perfection as a Clavinova is, I'll be in typist heaven.
