Really?? How about the Casio Privia PX-320? It is 88 note, fully weighted, under 30 lbs., 128 note polyphony, and it is a "semi" arranger too! Of course its main purpose is as a Digital Piano though. And surprisingly, the piano sound(s) actually sound pretty good. And amazingly, the key bed action is really very delightful. Read the review at Keyboard Mag to get the lowdown from the experts.

PS: I owned the PX-320 a while back to use as a Controller. I eventually returned it though because of its lack of Mod Wheels and/or a Mod Stick. I am certain that Casio will eventually make the next model (or the model after) with subsequent Mod Wheels or Mod Stick. I am waiting for that day and I will most likely seriously consider getting the new model when it comes out. If nothing else than for a truly portable, excellent action, fully weighted 88 key "semi" arranger keyboard which will mainly be used for controller purposes. OTOH, if Casio ever comes through with "totl" acoustic sounds in other sound categories i.e. Brass, Strings, Organ, Guitar, yada, yada, yada, and also a plethora of nice synth sounds, then that will even be more reason to get one and then be able to use it for everyday purposes like gigging, without the need to hook it up to a PRO sound module, etc. It's amazing how far Casio has come in just a few short years and I, for one, am truly expecting more great things from them in the future. And their prices are really undercutting the competition in a BIG way I might add.

All the best,
Mike

PS: The bees knees would be if Casio would make something similar from the WK series, which is their "fully" arranger keyboard line. They have the WK-8000 now which is 88 key but it's not a weighted key bed by any means.
