WOW! Casio ABSOLUTELY has a direct contender to the Yamaha YPG, and the newer Yamaha DGX series--(there are newer DGX models called the DGX-520, and DGX-620).

Casio's new Privia PX-575R is a "head on contender" to the YPG-625. When you inlarge the picture you'll see that this new Privia shares (much) of the WK layout, and functions--even 6 track recording, drawbars, voice editing, and so on. Here's a link. Scroll to the bottom.

If the new WK-8000 model doesn't have weighted keys it will compete directly against the new Yamaha DGX-520, and DGX 620.

Here's the new DGX models:
