Hi guys, Could anyone recommend a cheap, lightweight, solid, work horse stage piano with great piano feel and 88 keys? I don't care about the onboard sounds because I'm going to be controlling MainStage - so therefore it needs a midi out. At the moment I have a big old heavy Yamaha CLP-50. I love the feel but it's too heavy to cart around... I also have a M-Audio Prokeys sono 88. It's very portable but I hate the feel. I don't mind whether it's new, or whether it's 10 years old... As long as it feels great and I can carry it around. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks, James
Aww I thought Casios were for kids?! I think I may feel embarassed playing one of those but I shall have a look at the reviews. I'm looking for something less than £500. Something light enough to pick up easily by myself, put in a case, and trawl around on the tube with one arm. My other hand will be carrying the keyboard stand. Cheers for the info!

If it's for controlling Mainstage a soundless controller will be fine if you're taking a backup for gigs (for when your computer goes down - even Macs can misbehave). Will you have a backup keyboard with you when gigging?
