First some background its the summer before college and ive decide to finally start to learn how to play the piano (always wanted to but parents never had the funds when i was young) so with part of my graduation money and some savings im looking to buy a decent Digital Piano to hone my skills through out college.
My price range is up too $900 but that is really pushing it (dont want to spend all my cash )
The 4 contenders ive found are the Yamaha p80 for ~$900 Roland RD150 for ~$900 Korg SP200 for ~$799 sp100 at guitar city for $599
They all have what im looking for weighted action of some sort (read that was important to have so i wouldnt feel so foreign at a reg. piano)
88 keys, and all have good reviews on the sound quality
What i ask of you all is do you have any better suggestions
and which one of my selections has the best sounding piano sound (granted i may not be able to descern minute differences now but later in my training i will and i probably wont be able to fork over another grand for quite some time, so i want this selection to last)
right now im leaning toward the korg b/c of the price
Please i need your suggestions i have already searched all over this message board and review sites but would rather have a norrowed reply to my specific situation
Thank you so much in advance
The Qwerty
PS if more info is needed please dont hesitate to ask Forgot to add what type of music i will be playing
mostly pop Elton John, Billy Joel, and some classical
dont know if this will help
oh ya the korg and the rd150 says velocity sensitive hammer action while the p80 says graded hammer action????? whats the difference

the price of the P-80 is deceptive, because you need speakers and an amp also.

One thing about your choices here, you'll need an amp or PC speakers or something . They dont have built in speakers.
