Marla,
The S80 is a fine keyboard. I have a student who has one and several friends who have them either in their studio as a controler or on stage piano. The weighted key is an advantage for piano/elect. piano but of course a negative for organ sounds. Kinda tuff to pull of any type of slides without alot of practice. Anyway, the piano sounds seem to be really nice. The only negatives i personally have against it is that it doesn't have an onboard sequencer. If you are a writer who does alot of sequencing, it could be a con. I just purchased a roland fantom that i am very pleased with. I also have a Korg Trinity Pro X. If you don't mind the haul of a full size keyboard, it should be a good buy at that price. Hope i helped.
thanks and good luck!
