I posted a similar question recently and got no responses. I'd be
interested in any responses you get. The digital pianos I'm familiar
with are Roland and Yamaha. They both have 80+ keys, touch sensitive, 
and weighted keys. A cheapie is the Yamaha YPL20, touch sensitive,
but only 5 octaves and no weighted keys, but it costs $300-350,
as compared to $2000. Haven't heard the Yamaha though.
Please post a summary of any responses you get.
