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.
