CASIO has indeed been making some rather noticeable innovations.

The new Privia PX-5S, while not likely to be a recommendation for the purposes asked about here, is looking like it will be my next keyboard acquisition, for the sound of the thing, the Vintage Keyboards to include a very realistic Wurlitzer E piano that allows one-button amplifier simulations among other things, built in effects, ALL of the various Rhodes sounds thru the decades including the original, Clavinets that sound and play and feel like the original Clavinet (and the Sustain pedal doubles to initiate the 'wah' of the Clav via DSP, good on 'em) plus easy one button access to all of these goodies, great for live onstage use and jam sessions. And the hex synth is thrown in for good measure. 88 keys, weighted action that feels good to me, 24 lbs.

And the great sounding CASIO tonewheel organ and Leslie is in it, too.
