The 9000 Pro has 76 keys. There is also a lower end Yamaha keyboard offered with both 76 and 88. Also check out Ketron SD1, Roland G1000. There are others that I can't think of, I'm sure. DonM
I would stay away from the DGX series. They definitely are not professional. Essentially they are the PSR-292 in a different package. I spent a most frustrating afternoon playing my friend's DGX300. My old PSR-220 had more features.

I know you like your DGX keyboard but as was mantioned before, if you want to use it professionally playing live, you must have registration memories to save your setup into one button otherwise, you will need to press several buttons to change your settings which is a no-no in live playing situations since it waste time. Have you ever use registration memories ? I believe all the pros in this forum uses them everytime and they cannot perform the many different songs without them. Also the DGX has a problem changing the split voice independently ! My old PSR can do these things and they were dirt cheap like $100-200 but I do not understand why the newer DGX miss out on these very important functions. If they have them, then I would not hesitate to use it in live situations as they do have decent sounds.
