M-Audio's ProKeys 88 digital stage piano sounds great, has excellent action and has set a new standard for affordability. I highly recommend this keyboard to schools, churches and musicians that need a good controller keyboard that has realistic action and some decent sounds. Even if you don't plan on using it as a stage piano, it is very handy to have on board sounds so that you don't have to fire up your computer and deal with latency just to play the thing!
The only problem with the ProKeys 88 is that it is heavy. To address this, M-Audio is releasing the ProKeys 88SX, which at under 20lbs they claim you could carry under one arm. To achieve this, they've used "semi-weighted" keyboard action instead of the fully-weighted action found on the ProKeys 88. A very reasonable compromise, not only has this made the keyboard lighter, but also a couple hundred dollars cheaper!
