Title kind of says it all. I am asking Santa (Mrs. Medic8r) for a piano so that I can see how much of those lessons from 3rd grade to 8th grade have faded. I haven't played anything for years and can be considered a n00b as far as the technicalities of pianos vs keyboards. I'll probably pick up Coldplay, R.E.M.-type sheet music and may try to relearn some of the classical pieces I once knew.

I do know that I want something relatively cheap and with a small footprint. No baby grands yet!

I would like 88 keys, even if I'll never use most of them.

OK, I'm prepared for whatever scorn this might bring on, but the local Costco (my hero!) has a Casio PX-720 for $649. Closest link I could find is for this PX-700. Looks like most web sites on the 720 are from the UK. Any thoughts on this one or any others?

All help is appreciated.
