Keyboards?

Question:Alright, I'm a musician, and in a band. The thing is, I'm thinking about buying a new keyboard and was wondering if anybody could give me some suggestions as to what kind I should get? I'm a fan of Yamaha, but whatever brand is fine. It'd help to be in a reasonable price range too, $700 at the most, probably. Thank you.

I'm pretty new into this whole Keyboard thing, but I purchased an Alesis QS8.2 and I really enjoy it, the keys are weighted amd feel very much like a Piano, the sounds are good, but I cant figure out how to program the drums to play while I play standard piano/synth. YOu can pick one up for under $700 at musicians friend, I purchased mine as an scratch and dent for $499, it works flawlessly.

yea is always good to get one that works....just a suggestion.

well i myself am a big fan of Yamaha.
