Yamaha CK88 vs kurzweilSp7

[Creations]

Looking to buy a new portable light weight STAGE keyboard. I own a yamaha DXG670 which I love but it's too heavy for travel. The new one MUST be more advanced than DXG 670, have built in speakers, USB port , 88 weighted keys, less than 30 lbs, microphone port, would like arpeggiator but optional. Use is for church performance & solo venues. Other keyboard recommendations are accepted.

SP7 does not have built in speakers.

"More advanced than DGX670" will depend on in what respect you are comparing. For example, CK88 does not have drum rhythms or auto accompaniment, so whether it is more advanced or not in this respect depends in part on whether you use those functions, Also DGX has a lot more sounds in it.

I agree the DXG 670 has it all but it's too heavy for portability. I love drum rhythms but what's out there similar to DXG 670 thats less than 30 lbs. & less than $1700.00? The CK88 does have more realistic organ sounds with draw bars and easier accessible knobs- buttons for live performance & changes. I am looking for suggestions "however" Roland RD 88 does not give me anything extra.

Creations,
What you are looking for sounds like the Roland FP-E50, an 88 weighted key arranger/digitial piano that is a competitor to the DXG-670 but is geared more to a stage player than the DGX. This is an older post and responding late here.
