I guess there are no simple answers. My son plays in a band and will mainly be using the keyboard during rehearsals in a rehearsal room and I'm sure he doesn't want to bring his computer to that place everytime so a soft solution probably won't cut it. I have a Roland RD600 which he would love to use but that's placed in my studio and resale on them is quite high so we're really after something similar but cheaper. 76-88 decent weighted keys, a fair selection of sounds....all in all what Ensoniq has to offer but I have to check the local service before I go in. 

BTW I know the Alesis QS series quite well but they are rarely for sale but I guess they could be a good bet as well.
