Yes, I used to sell these things along with acoustic pianos (a sad-but-true
story).  the best digital I have come across is the Roland with the
weighted keys.  It sounds a bit muffled in the bass, but it plays well. (I
play one at a nursing home on sundays).  I remember my manager telling me
that digitals would wipe out the acoustic market. I am glad to see the
market has swung  back to acoustics.  Digitals are a bit fun at first, but
after awhile you long for a good acoustic
