Sound: The stereo sound and the rich echo effects are incredible. The grand piano sounds really nice. It has over 400 voices and they all sound plenty good to me. However it's a learning keyboard, not a pro one. Feature: This piano lights up the keys as it plays! You can download any piano midi file off the net and load it into this keyboard via USB - if need be, use a sequencer and make sure the piano part is the first track in the midi file and that it is channel 1. Once the file is loaded, you can learn it by stepping through it one note at a time. Once you learn it you can play along with the other instruments in the midi file - you play the piano part as the keyboard lights the keys. It has 100 built-in songs to learn (The Entertainer, Fur Elise, Just the Way You Are, etc.) and comes with a book with most of the songs in standart music notation. I like to watch this keyboard light up the keys as it plays my favorite Bach pieces and Jazz tunes. Quality: Seems solid and it's nice to look at. I bought a keyboard cover to keep it looking nice. Value: This keyboard is touch-sensitive, with a convenient numeric keypad. It has a display that shows you the notes being played on a music staff and also which fingers to use to press the lighted keys (for the 100 built-in songs.) It's like having a pianist patiently show you which notes to press as you learn whatever you want. The Wow Factor: Every home keyboard should have keys that light up like this one. It's really fun to watch and listen as it plays tunes. Overall: I've had it for about 3 weeks and I'm using it daily.

Feature: The EZ-250i has a handy built-in chord dictionary, which is a great addition for piano students. Overall: I'm the guy that wrote the "Great way to teach yourself" review. It's 4 months later and I'm still using the keyboard daily. Granted it requires some discipline, but it goes much smoother when you are playing tunes you like. I went on the web and did a search for people's favorite rock piano songs then I located and downloaded (accurate-sounding) MIDI files for some of the tunes. Then I learned a few by using the A-B looping feature of the keyboard. The first thing that I learned was the VH intro piano riff to "Right Now". I practice this daily because its sounds cool and it's a heck of a workout for my right hand. (The left hand is next!) Next, I learned 'Imagine' (easy and fun to play, keep the pedal down!), then "Saturday In The Park", and I'm finishing learning "Desparado" right now. All of these tunes have easy 1-note left-hand parts (no chords.) I've also learne bits and pieces of many other tunes that I play for fun. A huge bonus is that after you've learned a tune, you can play along with the original CD and it sounds great! People that hear me play think I'm a piano player! This is worth the price of the keyboard to me.
