It's kind of like asking I want to spend $30 for dinner - where should I go?

Need to know you preferences (eg weighted board, sheer weight of board, presets, programming etc)

Also NAMM show is just a couple of weeks away. Best to wait to see what's coming out new.

Exactly. It's best to just find what works for you. The keyboardist can have so many options with that budget (so much so that it's hard to start just throwing things out there). To what extent will you be using the keyboard? What will you be using it for? What availability do you want the keyboard to have (example: midi/usb/ability to run external instrument/have more than just piano, synth and pad sounds ect.)?

Well my style of playing is more inclined to piano centered, triggered loops, well to sum it up much like PORCUPINE TREE, PAIN OF SALVATION. Weighted board with on the fly tweak-able features!
thanks a lot for the help
