This question may extend a bit beyond the bounds of 
this newsgroup, but this seems a good place to start...

I would like to purchase an apartment piano this summer.
Although I would like to get an honest-to-goodness piano,
a real acoustic piano is no good for me here. If I'm going
to get a keyboard instrument it'll have to be of the 
portable/quiet type.  There are certainly polyphonic
synthesizers available, but I'm more interested in something
that is as close to a piano as I can get, in sound and key
action.  I'm willing to spend up to about $2000 max for the 
instrument (excluding amp, headphones, whatever).

Holding Back The Dam #1: The Fender Rhodes
	A very nice instrument, but it's not as close to a
	piano in sound and action as I want.

Holding Back The Dam #2: The Amazing Kurzweil Thing
	Too expensive.  Yes, maybe there's something cheap
	to be released some day, but I want to spend my money
	this summer.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
