The Yamaha DGX230 with features similar to the YPT line. The major difference between them is that the DGX is a 76 key model, where as the YPT are all 61 keys. The DGX230 is an upgrade from the DGX220 model and it has a few new features like extra voices and more songs in the song database. The DGX also has the portable grand feature that is standard on all Yamaha keyboards. Its a great feature that gives the ability to switch immediately to Grand Piano voice at the press of a button.

Was considering buying something like this but ended up going with a Yamaha acoustic piano. They really make great instruments.
