My little neffew will be taking keyboards lessons soon, my sister told me they don't wanna spend more then 1000 euro, that leaves them with the following options

-Yamaha MM6 for €500
-Yamaha S500 for €600
-Yamaha YPG-735 for €750 (88 weighted keys)
-Roland E50 for €999
-Korg PA500 for €999
-Casio Wk3800 for €650 (76 keys)
(seccond hand gear is out of the question, they wanna buy something new...woman)

Which of these boards do you think suits best for a little kid, 8 years old, that needs to have fun when making music...

Next to that, i haven't even heart most of these boards... How do they sound? ...whats your opinion, do you have any experience with some of these?

He is supposed to begin after the summer vacation, so that leaves me with some time to seriously study these machines.
