Hello there,
I live in Israel,and recently returned to play,after 18 years of not playing the piano.
I'm interested in buying a Digital Piano.
Have played today on all of the above.
Korg felt the closest to an acoustic piano,in sound,and had a good touch also,but doesn't have a Pitch Bender and only 30 voices.
The DGX640 felt a little numb,both on the sound side,and the touch sound,but its samples of voices are very good,in general.
Casio felt something in the middle:The keys were quite responsive,felt "hard enough",it has a lot of voices,a pitch bender,and the sound was quite OK.
I think I should go on the Casio,but there's one thing that really bothers me:
I know Casio's keys tend to click after a few months,and that their build is not as good as other DPs,like the Yamaha's,for instance.
Do you think the Casio would be a good choice,in the long run?
It really feels like an all arounder.
One last note:
In Israel,Yamaha is being imported mainly by one Music Shop Retailer.("Kley-Zemer")
The outcome is,that Yamaha's products are quite expensive.
The DGX640 costs 4,725 NIS,and comes without a stand,nor a power supply.
Korg comes with a stand,a sustain padel,and a power supply.
It costs 3,600 NIS.
Casio comes with a sustain pedal and a power supply,and costs 2,945 NIS.
(1 US$=3.5 NIS)
So,there should be a great consideration in terms of cost-efficiency.
Thanks for your help,
Yohai.

I've had a Casio PX330 for almost 2 years now and have never had any problem with clicking keys or inferior build. I did have a yamaha before that, the YPG635 and I preferred many of the tones over the Casio, but I liked the Casio's touch better. I had also wanted midi in/out which the Yamaha didn't have. I've no experience with the Korg.

You may get more response on the Digital Piano category
