Mhh, the keyboard dilemma will end up in me not buying anything because I don't want to shell out a lot of money for a hobby I don't even know how long/regularly I will do, and on the other hand I hear a lot of people saying that weighted keys are really important.

I quickly looked on ebay for the PX130 and I found one which was almost new for $480 with a stand for it. But with my wedding coming up, I can't really afford to get that, even though I'd be done with any piano concerns forever, ugh.

As I asked in the other comment, how would the skills would translate over from a $200 keyboard to a digital piano with weighted keys? If I'd stick with it till I reach the limits of the keyboards (pedal, polyphony and stuff) I wouldn't hesitate to get one, but I don't really wanna start with one....Suggestions?
