Okay, I've been reading the posts that I could find on the Casio DP's and several posters have suggested that the key action is very heavy and comparable to the Yamaha GHE action as found on a P155, but I wanted to actually start a thread to get more feedback. Obviously, the action is probably the most important factor for me and the heavier the better.

My thought on this is the Casio action is heavier then the Yamaha P-155. I am basing this on having played the PX-130/330 and the P-155. Back during the summer of last year, I was able to directly compare the P-155 to the PX-130 at a Sam Ash. The action on the 130 was heavier in my opinion. I thought the piano sample of the PX-130 was comparable to the P-155 although, the sound through the built in speakers of the 130 is inferior. It sounded better through headphones. The P-155 did sound good through its on board speakers but the amp on it is weak. Casio does make a decent DP given it caters to the low end of the market. If you like the PX-130 the PX-330 is even better with it's connectivity options, drum loops and other instrument sounds it has and at $699 is still a lot cheaper than a P-155, and it has the same piano sample as the PX-130 with an on board 16 track recorder. If your considering something with more sounds, it's worth a look.
