Actually the Casio WK3800 is a very good value. The styles aren't the greatest but the most of the sounds are very good.

I am selling both the PX-130 and the PX-330 at my store. The PX330 has over 200 sounds vs the 130 which has only 14. Also, the PX330 has 180 accomp. styles or just drum beats with two variations and the 130 has none! The 330 has I think everything you asked for in your first question. It has Midi, it has USB it has an SD card slot, it even has a 16 track recordable and playback sequencer. There are stereo inputs and stereo outputs and it sells for $699! Oh, and did I forget ........88 hammer weighted keys with great feel and weighs only 25 lbs........

I think it is a no brainer that PX330 is the best arranger keyboard with a hammer action in the market right now by FAR and for under $700. It is amazing how even the closest rival can be compared to. The only thing closest would be the Yamaha YPG series digital piano which does not have the hammer action. It is a TOY compared to the PX330.

WK series has no hammer action and from my previous experience is much lesser in sound quality. Not even close to the PX series.

Just go to the nearest GC. They should have all those in display. Or call them to make sure

Actually the Yamaha YPG635 does have the hammer action keyboard. It's the YPG535 that does not. The YPG also has very good styles and sounds. The price is $899 and it is not nearly as portable as the PX330 and it has no midi connections. It also has 64 note polyphony and the Privia has 128. It also doesn't have a 16 track sequencer but rather a 6 track sequencer.
