Both models have 88 touch sensitive keys that look like piano keys but don't feel like weighted keys (because they are not).
The Casio sells for $499 and the Yamaha sells for over $600. Both have wooden stands. The Casio has stereo outputs, the Yamaha does not.
Sounds in both are similar in quality, the drum sounds are better on the Yamaha. The Casio has a lot more features including a digital programmable drawbar organ, a realistic leslie simulator which can be controlled by the modulation wheel, a programable synthesizer which means you can edit the sounds and store your creations, both have USB, both let you store songs you create on their internal sequencers on either a USB drive on the Yamaha or a SD card on the Casio.
Casio also allows you to load new styles, samples and drum sounds from their library directly into the keyboard.
The casio speakers are louder but both sound good.
The casio can handle two pedals the yamaha only one.

Thanks George, I just came back fom GC in Arlingon, TX, The pianos on the Wk8000 sounded "toyish" to me, In my opinion [I'm not an expert] the sounds on the Yamaha sounded sweeter, the keys felt of a better quality, I can get the Yamaha for $525.00 no bag. I can get the WK8000 for $425.00 I'm trying to fall in love with it, with carrying case w/wheels it'll be $515.00, any advice on how to make the Wk8000 sound better is greatly appreciated.
George how do you compare the sounds on this 2 boards?
Thanks!
