If the intent is to use with Band in a Box and also have advantage of high quality MIDI playback synth as well as weighted piano, be sure to ascertain that whatever you pick also contains a GM or XG compatible synth.

Yamaha electronic pianos are considered by many to be very good choice, both in keyboard feel and onboard piano samples. Since you are already using a Yamaha, consider the same brand and consider the purchase as being a giant step upwards.

Thanks to everyone for your responses! After doing some online research, I narrowed my choices down to a few and visited a local music store today. It turns out that they had the digital piano that I was most interested in - Yamaha DGX640 - at a good price. I was quite impressed with it after playing around a bit.

So -- just wondering whether anyone here is using a Yamaha DGX640 with BIAB? If so, are there any negatives/drawbacks? I'm just going thru the spec sheet but haven't come across any mention of either XG or GM compatibility, but my guess is that it's there.....

Thanks!
