Here is a little information about the XP-60 and the Korg N264.
The XP-60 is more complicated in the begining but after a while much easier to work with - you have for instance a lot more of buttons for better control of every operation ;you have a large display with F-buttons and such things.It has a better keyboard and a better sound quality.And you can quick-play the songs directly from a disk without having to load it into the internal memory.
But we shall not forget that the N264 is much cheaper and it has very exciting sounds(some are real good ones);and it sure has everything you need to make the sort of music you say you're playing.It can do most of the things that XP-60 does.The N264 has a larger keyboard with 76-keys wich is good if you want to play it like a piano.N264 and
XP-80=76 keys; N364 and XP-60=61 keys.
One thing,that is very important,is that the Korg sequencer is more reliable and works better than Roland's.The 64-voice polyphony,on the XP-60,doesn't work as it should.Sometimes,even though you're using just a few voices(10 or so)you'll hear the drum track getting out of time.There are some more problems with the sequencer/voice-polyphony.
It's difficult for me to tell you which one to buy.You have to try them a lot before you buy something.
The iS40 and PSR730 are Keyboards with auto accompaniment and in built speaker system.That's all I know.Bye

Do research on the QS Boards.
Alesis will kill Roland in price, sound, software, and function Every time.

Do not buy a Roland unless you known what you are doing.

Drugs are bad. Just say no.
