If you already have a good MIDI keyboard, you can save money by getting a desktop/rack version. I personally prefer the self-contained portability of the Indigo/Polar models.... I can easily move my Indigo around with a pair of headphones and play music / create patches (which is fun unto itself) wherever I want. I am purchasing a Polar tomorrow for the same reason.
Additionally, I think it's possible that the Indigo and Polar models will become real collector's items over the years, alongside the Minimoog, Odyssey, etc. (This could be an interesting topic to debate.) They may not sound any different than the desktop or 61-key versions, but they have visual personality, and plenty of people are interested in that. After all, guitar players will spend thousands extra for an instrument solely based upon appearance.
