88 weighted keys....DGX 650 vs Havian 30 - 12/14/15 12:20 PM

For my own enjoyment.... Love learning weighted keys for home enjoyment.

I went with the DGX650...tons of reviews...

Perhaps I should have gone with the Korg Havian? Seems like a lot of piano for the money?

From the Youtube demo I'm pulled to the Korg but really that means nothing unless you play them in person. It "seems" a tad richer but who can tell from a video. For the price difference it should give you more. I love the look of it too.
I'm sure the Yamaha will do all you need so enjoy it.
Did you look at the new Casio Privia's ? Curious to know how they would compare.

Dgx 650 is much more low end in every possible way compared to the Havian
- more advanced styles ( pa300/600 vs low end psr-e)
- better keybed
- better piano sound
- more sounds
- better and more robust build
- better screen and interface

However, the havian30 is 2 times as expensive

Bachus, I do think you are right about the Havian. I may do some visiting with Sweetwater.

Dnj, I want 88 keys that has a few styles etc...in short, an ensemble piano.

Thanks all for taking the time to respond.

It's interesting that there are practically no reviews of the Havian out on the net...or at least very few reviews compared to the DGX650.
