I need advice on choosing my first keyboard,I was thinking to buy the Korg iS40,but I will like to know if the XP60 is a better choice,I play christian soft rock,pop,ballad etc.please help me.

Hi, I play in church & have been in a couple of Christian bands. I have a Roland A-90 ex a Xp 60 & and a Korg X5 module. If your looking for a good Piano base the Roland A-90 ex has the best Piano sounds Roland put out (according to Roland), but I don't like any of the other sounds. I personaly like the string sounds of Korg over Roland, & the Korg does have a couple of nice keyboard sounds but the piano is Yuck!!!!! I only ever use about 5 of the Korg sounds from my X5, One piano sound form my A-90 & all the rest form my Xp-60.

The Xp-60 has got some nice piano sounds. Much much better than Korg has.

I say go for the Xp 80 if it's your first keyboard, cause you'll miss the extra keys, (I know from experience). And with it's abillity to expand though expansion cards it's a cheap way of upgrading.
