I'm getting kind of tired of going to my friend's house to play his actual piano every time I want to play, so I'm looking at getting myself an electronic keyboard I can play whenever. I don't want something for babies or a 'teaching' one-octave POS, I can play four mallets on keyboard percussion (xylophones and shit) and I'm starting to learn two-handed piano, but I don't know which of the three keyboards would be best.
All of them are at or under $150, and the first two seem like the real competition since the cheapest seller on both is the same company and they don't charge for shipping. The only thing is, I'm not sure if it's really such a great idea to cut twelve keys off for a more 'professional'-style keyboard.
So, Facepunch, which is best?

I'd go for the Yamaha - The PSR I am currently borrowing has excellent responsive keys. - I'm no keyboard player but quality wise it's coming close to the CME M-KEY I have.
MIDI controllers are great and all but sometimes it's just inconvenient to need a computer for the sounds.
Soem Yamahas also double up as MIDI controllers too via USB (This PSR I'm borrowing does anyway...)

I don't really want any MIDI controllers, the only computer music software-ish thing I have right now is Sweet Little Piano, and that's just for fucking around with.

It's really basic and not very useful, but... I kinda like it...
Nobody wants to help?
WOAH FUCK BROKE AUTOMERGE
Get the Xboard, I have a cheap knockoff of one, and it's excellent. Just find a copy of Fruity Loops studio and use that.
I owned that casio for a while and it's a good keyboard, the key's can feel too light at times.
