Casio CTK900 61 Full-Size Key MIDI Keyboard Review

I had the chance to play side by side the Yamaha equivalent of the Casio CTK900 Keyboard, and I own a real piano and also a Technics weighed-keys full size keyboard. Of course, the sound is not the real thing, but it is realistic enough, and very pleasant, as far as the "grand piano voice" is concerned. The stereo effect is definitively a plus.
Now as far as the ease-of-use is concerned, I really prefer the Casio. Even a poor pianist (like me) can get some amazing results, and the "arranger" functions, or "transistion" are as good as was a $ 5000 instrument five years ago. I am impressed, and I was not impressed at all with the compertitors products.
This keybord is not a toy. This is a perfect beginner piano, plus many many hours of fun. The "speed sensitive" keyboard is well balanced and will simulate the weighed keys of a real piano pretty well.
