Just wondering which keyboard's better to get. I'm looking for a keyboard with a variaty of tone and nice sound, also for the recording function.
I've narrowed it down to a few options: E50,yamaha psr 3000, GW 7 (kinda interested in its oriental style and tone that i can't really get from anywhere else)

Hello,

The Roland EXR40 OR is an oriental keyboard with the built-in speakers, etc. It has the oriental scaling system too. There is one on eBay for $600 and change right now (not mine).

Yes you can load GW7 style files into the EXR40oriental but the drum kits and the sounds will play differently because they are mapped differently.
I would also look at the Korg PA50 which has great oriental capabilities and great western styles for a reasonable price.
