I don't want to sound like a snob but I tried a lot of keyboards and the action was not nearly "weighted hammer" despite claims. I'm not a professional but we in my family all played at on point. Didn't like it. We ended up buying an admittedly more expensive Kawai model and gosh, is it great. I'm just saying don't expect outstanding action and sound from this one. I tried many.
I love my Korg microKey-61. Come on Korg, make an ** key version of the microKey! And put an old school DIN MIDI out on it so I can interface it with an Arduino.
Yeah, 80's Casio was pure ****. But they make some decent pianos now. Costco has Casio CDP-235 for $350 free shipping and it seemed to have pretty decent hammer weighting and descent piano sound when I tried it out briefly in store. Only 64 note polyphony though. PX-160 has a more adequate 128 note polyphony and sounded pretty damn good to me in youtube videos. Very nice.
Yamaha? Not for me. Some of their notes sound very unauthentic and poor to me, even on their latest models. My parent's DXG has very clunky noisy keys too.
Kawai? Fairly descent sound, good reviews, but too high priced in my opinion.
My favorite at the moment is Roland FP-30 for best sound quality. Haven't gotten mine yet to play it yet, but from youtube videos it just blows everything else out of water for quality piano sound to me.
