I guess it really boils down to either an inexpensive Yamaha or a Casio.
i have a Yamaha PSR - e423 which is a lot of fun, but is more like an organ. Even though it has touch sensitivity, it doen't have "feel" sensitivity, if you know what i mean.

Problem is if i try to record "midi" accurately, the "organ" touch is always off and I have to waste time editing. if i played a real piano, the notes would be much more accurate. its the feel of the keys that throws me off. Consequently I don't use a keyboard much for recording, which is a shame.

So i am going to try the Yamaha np30 which has great reviews but I remember playing some Casios that had a really good piano feel.

Ultimately I know it comes down to me actually playing the things and seeing what i like, but am just polling some opinions from anyone who has played these relatively inexpensive pianos and know their comparable features besides playability. (200-350 bucks tops).

((I couldn't spend any more than that as i am a guitarist and guitar is king.))
((DREAM: If i was going to get a keyboard I liked, and money wasn't an object, a nord electro-2!))

Opinions in the (200-350 range are welcome!

thanks
