Which keyboard should I buy for this purpose?

[Wobert]

Total newbie question:
What is the best choice for a keyboard (or keyboard) under $1000 with a good selection of vintage synth pads, and some real-sounding strings (rather than obvious synth strings, which are cool, but not best for my purposes)?
None of these things matter: Number of keys, weighted or non-weighted, authentic piano, organ, etc.
The selection of analog-era synth sounds, yet some authentic sounding strings, are my only concerns.
Thank you!

VA synth + good sampled strings... I'm thinking a used Roland FA-06 would fit the bill, with its SuperNatural Synth, SuperNatural Ensemble Strings, and a lot of other nice string sounds in the freely downloadable "strings collection" and "orchestral collection" expansions.

I agree with @anotherscott if you need an excellent keyboard with vintage set sounds.
If in your place I would also seriously consider Roland Integra-7 Module with 6000 Super Natural sounds which is 400EUR more expensive then FA-06 ( 2000 sounds ) OR Spectratronics Omnisphere with its 14.000 sounds for computer only workflow ( DAW ).
