I have an axiom I would thoroughly recommend it. Try it with the 40 demo of TruePianos - very good. The feel of the keys (semiweighted) is very responsive. I have A Nord and a KeyB but prefer this. No on board sounds though, but IMO you are better of with software - some of the new soft synths are dazzling omnisphere, absynth.. These could be added when budget allows and are updatable whereas onboard sounds are often not. There are some good free synths to on KVR (crystal).

Sorry to disagree but I would stay away from anything Yamaha after having a few PSR's Unless you go for high end most on board sounds of retro keyboards are naff IMO. A sound needs to evolve according to velocity and the older keyboards did not do this (well the ones I know).
