The privia is probably the best price performing stage keyboard, it can (almost) keep up with Nord, Roland and Yamaha top models soundwise and keybed action wise... at less then half the price..
and if you want to add 88 keys and great piano sound to your T5 or PA3x, this is the way to go if you are on a budget... it comes with 6 sliders and 4 free assignable knobs..
For giggers, its only 22 pounds, with fully weighted action and aftertouch... want to play on the streets, its battery operated.. Want to archieve more professional setups, it has 4 keyboard splits..
its small its light and you can have it placed directly under your arranger and still reach and see all the controlls...
-----------------------
Another story is ensoniq, its killed by a PC soundcard company, after their merger with EMU, creative labs bought the merged company, and killed all professional products...
I think that really is a shame...

My ears must be "hearing disabled!"
I went to SA and played, side by side, the Yamaha P-155, Casio Privia 350 and the Casio PX-5S.
To me, the Yamaha won hands down.....especially the key feel.......but a bit heavy!. Yet everyone is raving about the Casio's!
To be fair, it's not easy testing a piano in SA as there's always someone playing power chords on a guitar somewhere in the store.
QUESTION: You all still think the Casio's sound that good? QUESTION: I thought the Privia 350 sounded better than the PX-5S. Your thoughts?

Casio sounds quite well, as does the Yamaha, i think its just a personall preference, i myself am not a big fan of Yamaha piano sounds... The best stage pianosounds in the world are Nord Fazioli, Roland V-piano and Kawaii MP11.... But nothing beats pianoteq.. If you want/need the best piano sounds on the world, a simple laptop running Pianoteq blows everyone away...
