I have a Casio PX-350. Compared to the Casio PX-5S it has the same keybed + stock voices. Unlike the PX-5S, the PX-350 comes with onboard speakers + it has some styles to fiddle around with. However, the PX-350 doesn't have the editing capability of the PX-5S, and it just doesn't have the lighting and button layout to make it suitable for serious stage work (unless you're just playing piano).

I have my PX-350 hooked up to my computer where I'm running Ivory II American Steinway D + Italian Grand. I got the most expensive Sound Blaster sound card on my desktop, and I bought Sennheiser HD-650 headphones to get the closest possible to the full grand piano experience. It sounds incredible, and the PX-350 does a really good job, but not perfect, of producing a piano feel. I heard that the Kawai VPC1 is the closest you can get to a real piano feel, but it costs $1850 and it weighs 65lbs.

Casio has done an amazing job of creating a triple sensor, weighted key keyboard that you can carry under your arm and won't cost an arm and a leg.

I haven't been posting on synthzone much lately, because outside of the gigging I do on my Yamaha PSR-S950, I am having more fun at home playing the Casio with the Ivory II software.

I think Mike is being a little hard on Yamaha for its pricing. I think that Casio usually creates the best keyboard for their price point.

The R&D that goes into a T5 as far as musicians for the styles and engineers for their voices is really mind boggling. Maybe I'm naive, but I think that it must cost a lot of money to produce all those styles and authentic voices + all the other stuff. I simply cannot afford a T5. I own two PX-950's, and I can't afford two T5's.

Maybe the price is a little stiff, maybe not. I don't know how much it costs them. But the price isn't way out of line. It's a professional top of the line instrument. It's for the accomplished pros and wealthy hobbyists.
