hi, I need a hand in choosing among this brand/piano...first my

budget is 1k+/-(200) no more no less..xp...and this brand/piano are

in the range of my budget...they are good pianos...but im looking

for the the one who has the best touch...(that's what im craving

for...lol) 2nd im looking for sounds..followed by audio/usb port

and stuff for good recording(planning on recording videos and post

in youtube)..and last the featured/action....i don't really mind

if this piano has poor action/feature..but they probably won't

have such poor action/feature...it's just..i don't use it much...

or i just prioritize 1st what I want...

or you could recommend a better/other piano...considering my

wants/need and my budget..xp

Thank you for reading, hope you understand what i just said..xp

Of the three models that you mentioned, the Yamaha P-140 and Korg SP-250 are roughly comparable in touch and sound. The Yamaha is probably a little bit better and has more features, such as onboard recording. However, the P-140 has been discontinued, so it may be hard to find. The new P-155 is even better, but much more expensive than the Korg.

The P-85 has a cheap action and a 1-level sample with poor dynamics. I don't generally recommend it.

You should also consider the Casio Privia models, such as the PX-330.

ok ok....thank you for great reply...!

now im considering p 155 or px-330...but px 330 has like half the price of p 155... i mean would it be worth it upgrading it too p-155??

and by the way...as i search more deeper i found out more piano...would you guys raecommend piano/brand such as Kawai EP2/Ep3?? or some DGX pianos??

I mean they're in the same price range..so why not consider it too??

Kawai ep3 has almost the same price as p155...so wondering if which one is better...

Please explain to a newbie why this is important.

Thanks.
