Hey, so I'm seriously considering buying a keyboard to play around with. I've been playing the piano for a long time, and figure it is now time to invest, so I'm wondering if any of my friends from CP have any input or wise knowledge they could share with me to help me out?
I would like the keyboard to have a fair amount of sounds (at least 50), 76-88 keys, and be high enough quality that it could be played on stage if need be. Right now i'm leaning towards this son of a gun:

Does anyone have any experience/opinions on this keyboard? Are there better options out there? And what do you guys know about keyboard amps? How much wattage should I want out of a keyboard amp, and I have heard that you can play them out of bass amps too... anyone have any experience with that? All input will be greatly appreciated.
