Bill, at the moment the FP90 is the leading contender so I really appreciate the first-hand info. I'll be looking at all the major players (R,Y,K,N) plus a few lesser known but highly rated brands. One of the reasons I'm currently favoring the FP90 is that I've owned a ton of Roland boards and I've loved the key action on every single one. Now I've just got to drag my lazy butt to the music store and try some of them out. I'll take my guitar/sax/trumpet/piano playing grandson (I'm not kidding) with me and we can spend some quality time together. Guitar is his main instrument but he's fast approaching 'pro' level so I'm not complaining. His main focus is (modern) jazz with Rock a close second. ehhh.

If I find something nice I'll update you. Hey, maybe the music store will take some of my excess junk, although most of it is pretty dated. Thanks again for the FP90 info; didn't realize it had internal speakers. Isn't that unusual for a high-end keyboard (or are digital pianos an exception to that rule?).
