I don't know too much about the models on the low end, but what you should
look for is at least something with what is known as velocity sensitivity.
That allows keys which are pressed harder to sound louder.  If it does not
have velocity sense, all the notes will sound the same.   If you are at all
serious about playing a keyboard, you will should have this.  It is important
for developing your keyboard technique.

Again, I don't know too much about the casios, but I know there are cheap
Yamahas which use the FM method of synthesis, in which you can adjust the
parameters of the sound and synthesize your own sound, as opposed to just
selection a preset.

Sorry I don't have anything more specific as to models, but I hope this
helps,  Jeff Beer UUCJEFF@ECNCDC.BITNET
