This is a fine looking keyboard. I think I want it for myself!!! It is almost twice as much as the Yamaha DGX-650 but still not bad at all for what you are getting. I like this keyboard. Bachus, I don't know if you made the decision easier or harder for me (LOL) but I thank you.

Same goes for the Korg Havian, it just fits your budget, its a better piano and a way better Arranger then the DGX-650, it has the same soundsource and style quallity as the Korg Pa range..

But you have to decide yourself, here is a video to make your mind up, personally i prefer the Korg, its way stronger build, got the better sounds (played both of them) and the arranger section is way more advanced. Speaker system is better too (and it looks better)

Korg Havian was on my list too but no midi, no line in and headphones on the back was the deal breaker.

That's exactly what I found out myself. Korg must have meant this keyboard for home use only. When you have only a shared headphone/stereo line out, how does it work and sound when feeding mono into the mixer/speaker?

Casio is pretty generous with all kind of connectors. The PX5s and PX560 have two sets for audio in; 1/4 and 1/8 stereo. Pretty handy when connecting another instrument/module and notebooks/tablets.

Okay... point taken, very good reasoning, never looked into these features, and yes they would be a dire miss for most..

Strange how noboddy sees the need for 88 key stage pianos with top arranger features. Not even Korg that lives and breathes live perfoming musicians
