The only real complaints I heard about the Casio pianos was key wobble.

I'm not sure if the other models have the same issue.

I think the Casio pianos sound much better than any of the Korg PA series......my buddy has the Casio PX-3...the keys wobble, but not extremely so....at least not yet.

Some of the Korgs had key wobble too...the pianos...the SP-250 was the worst offender according Piano World reviewers and users.

drums and bass are great. very crisp and punchy.

solo brass and reed weren't very good.
I didn't like the strings either...

some electric guitars were nice. the rest still need work.

still.. 2 variations and 1 intro/ending is a big drawback...

Hi Don,

I just bought a Casio PX330 - I needed 88 keys to take formal piano lessons again. I also wanted some arranger functions so when I bore of practice, I can go back to my OLD habits and play keyboard (this could be a mistake). The tones are amazing. I have a S700 here and to my ear, many of the tones on the PX are so much better then the S700 (i.e. piano - sax - guitars). I do not have a Tyros to compare them to so higher end Yamaha boards may be much more superior. The Casio Privia PX330 is a quality made piano/arranger.

I am now wondering if the Casio WK/CTK 7000 keyboards will have those tones too? If so, I may treat myself to the WK 7000 at a future date.
