For Yamahas, which I have had two, one now, you should go with the pro series, and like mine, it was just under $900. Model S08. Has many of the flagship "Motif" sounds. (minus the recording workstation). The pianos are great in fact. Very pro sounding, with seceral styles ot choose from. Small grand, even a Pro K simulation! Like being on stage at a concert! Also has the feel as close to a grand as it gets. NO speakers. Need a system to go into. But way ahead of the home models mentioned. Worth putting it through a stereo setup. Or Keyboard amp. I go though a small PA for rehearsals. Ask Iggy how it sounds. I compared them to the Roland and Korg, (ones in the same price range). His is a Yamaha S80, and that also is a pro series and one of the best. Both are like the Motif (just without the workstation sequencer. Sam Ash is where I got mine, and it was listed at near 12 or 13 hundred. Sells for around 1000. Hung around a while, came back, and got them to sell it for 859.! Floor model, but just out for a week, as I saw it come out then.
