Hi, I am looking for some recommendations for a digital piano given my budget and needs.

I was using a Roland RD600, but I now live in another country and given it's age I decided the shipping costs were not worth it. So I have sold it to my father. So have some cash in order to buy a new one. Obviously I am not going to be able to afford the latest equivalent of the Roland so given the following what would you all recommend:

Budget: $600-$800

Action: I want fully weighted.

Usage: Mainly at home, but I will sometimes take it down to down to the local open mic night for a jam, so a fixed stand piano won't do. It needs to be fairly portable.

Speakers are not necessary, I am prepared to buy an amp if necessary and I have some high end cans. If it does come with speakers that's cool.

Voices: Of course a good piano sound is the most important, but I do want other sounds especially a good Hammond Organ type sound and a good electric piano sound.

I live in Korea and most popular brands and models are available here.

Thanks
Matt

Normally I'd recommend a Casio for that price (PX320), but since you'll be taking it to gigs, you may want something that doesn't have the brand name stigma. How about Roland FP4 - I'm pretty sure it can be had for about $1000, and is a great instrument; pretty light for what it offers.

As far as shipping costs - you may be able to take it with you on a plane. I did it once taking my PX110 (fully weighted 88 keys) from the U.S. to Europe - it didn't even cost extra. Not sure how much it would be now.

Thanks for the helpful reply. Unfortunately it seems what might be a $1000 in the states gets converted to to $2400 here (here being Korea)!

I think to make the job easier is to do some research on what I can get here for my budget and post up a list of brands and models.

OK here a few models that seem to fall into my price bracket. Any observations are welcome

Casio PX120
Casio PX310
Casio PX320
Yamaha P70
Yamaha P85
M Audio Prokeys 88 (not SX)

you can eliminate PX310 from your list, since PX320 is its replacement model. also, P70 is older one and being replaced by P85. it's always the best to buy the latest model, unless you are short of money.

I have a new one to add to the list and am actually leaning toward it more than any of the above

The Korg SP250

I've read some of the reviews on here and other sites. To me the pros seem to be it's action and the cons differ depending on the reviews- From noisy keys to disappointing piano sound.

What's other peoples general views on it?

I am also considering the Kurzweil SP88X, however it seems a little weighty for my needs.
