Feature:
Its really nice for the price. Again, if you are looking for a digital piano, this is very good for the buy. Its competitor is in my opinion the yamaha and the m-audio Prokeys 88.
Quality:
I like the feel of this keyboard, and that is the reason I bought it. I play piano. Piano is my thing. Im moving to Europe for a year as an exchange student and wanted my own piano to not drive ANYONE crazy for playing passages over and over again, etc. I was looking for a slab digital piano for a real decent price, and after SERIOUS looking, I settled for this one. If you like pianos with a harder action, settle with this one. Ive touched the others. Yamaha is significantly softer than this one (which made me not buy it) and the M-audio which I really was going to get, has the black keys indented in the keyboard, so they stick low and yes you can play it much easier that a real piano, but thats not what I want it for. I want a realistic feel. This piano does not feel cheap for the price.
Value:
I was able to get the keyboard off a shop.com for 440 plus handling to a grand total of $499. If you think about it if you are shopping for these keyboards, you will get what you pay for. We all want the $ 2500 keyboards, but its just not going to happen. This keyboard will give you what you pay for, and it is better overall than its competitors
Desirability:
Who wants a 599 keyboard lol. Its very nice for the price. its really all I need. However If I wanted to throw away a lot of money, or just found a need to get something better, I obviously would have. its real nice for the price dont get me wrong.
Sound:
You can tell that it is not an expensive keyboard. you get what you pay for. Nevertheless the sounds are pretty decent if thats not all you are looking for. The only sounds that Im really refering to are the piano sound. It sounds sampled and somtimes fake. the e-pianos sounds fine.
Ease of Use:
If you are good with common sense or were born in the last 30 years, you will have no problem with it.
Overall:
It feels REAL GOOD. thats why I bought it. 32 note polyphony. You have 10 fingers on yours hands. This about playing 12 note chords 3 times with the sustain pedal down. If you play a song like that, okay then, you might want a 128 Polyphony keyboard. But overall you will be fine with this one. If you want a pretty decent sounding "grandpiano" sound, with nice epiano sounds, want a Good expensive feel, and a SLAB (it feels sooo small.) this is your keyboard. If you are a pianist and need a cheap keyboard to practice on, but have access to a real piano, this is your keyboard. Why do I say that? Because this sound will not replace a true piano, or again a more expensive keyboard. a 4 year old should be able to pick it up fine. Its about that heavy. I give it a 8. good price. good feel. Its what I was looking for.

Feature:
Plenty of of options with variations, layers and splits.
Quality:
Very nicely constructed. Though the shell is plastic, it is strong and probably has a lot to do with the light weight of the piano. I imagine it will be around for quite a while.
Value:
From what I have heard, it beats anything under $1,200.
Desirability:
I like it.
Sound:
The grand piano voice is very natural as well as many others. Beautiful tones are made by layering voices, particularly the grand piano and electric piano #1. The speakers sound nice though they could be a bit louder. When playing with sennheiser 595 headphones, the sounds are TREMENDOUS. Haven't needed an amp yet, but will try one soon.
Support:
N/A
Overall:
I am taking piano lessons, but have been playing around with one for about a year. I imagine I will have some time before I can grow out of this piano.
