Hmm trying to find the start of the thread and can't so I will go off what I have.
When starting to learn Piano some time ago I ended up buying a M-Audio Prokeys 88 when it first came out. I personally think it was a great buy, and they now have the SX series which is even less money. The keys are hammer weighted and feel very good to me, though I am not really all that much of a pianist myself. It has some decent sounds on board, and basic effects(Reverb, Chorus, etc.) with midi input and output. Only catch is no onboard amp, but that isn't really a problem for me as I run it through my monitors anyways. At any rate, I would suggest giving it a try if you only have so much to spend.

feels really, really good to me and sounds great. But, it was more than
I wanted to spend so I settled for the casio px-310 (now replaced by
px-320). The casio feels pretty good for the price compared to other
stuff in that price range. The sound is also pretty good. But, having
played and heard something better (the cp300) I'm always a little
disappointed when I sit down in front of it.
