I'm surprised you feel the need to say "we" as if you are speaking for the whole group...the consensus on 76 notes, at least here on SZ, was about 50/50 if you had been following the poll.
Beginners should be using 88 weighted keys...ask any qualified teacher.
I get by just peachy with 61 keys...you may not be able to (or not want to) adapt to five octaves, but there are many of us who do.
