As it happens, I'm looking for quite the same thing. I'm starting to
learn keys and a friend told me that it's better to start with a piano.
I don't have the space for one, so a e-piano is probably the best
choice. Requirements: piano-like weighted keys; if possible midi and a
nice piano sound.
I heard that those e-pianos are rather expensive, which is a problem
for me. The most important part are the keys tough, and a way to
produce sounds that convinces at least me that I'm playing a piano and
not a washing machine :)

Good luck to you Dirk.
