The portable grand is quite good and value for money if you're tight in budget or don't want to spend so much on it.

The best advice for you is to try it out yourself.

erm .. i've tried both. Dgx 220 keys are more like real piano, but it's not weighted keys i think, and it has brow in color that looks better. But the psr 403 have more fuction right? it looks more complicated than 220. I'm a beginner but may become pro someday so I want to invest only one time. So what exact is the difference between these two models apart from one extra octave sad.gif i hope i wont regret after getting one of these.

touch sensitive is about the key, the dynamics (volume) output will depend on the force you applied when pressing the keys.

it will create a effect of "piano-like" dynamic

Actually after my research, i think touch sensitive also varies in diff model, such as the sensitivity of 403 is better than 313. and so..

and i think getting a keyboard with touch sensitive is essential, else it's nothing diff from Toy'rus.

no la genzunia,
m-audio keystation with 61key only rm700 1st hand one
pretty portable too cos minus the speakers which IMO is heavy and make the keyboard bulky
a good software programme (sampler) is aroud the range about rm500-1000.. so in the end u will hav something sound nice but cheaper than those good portable grand

here..the akoustik Piano sampler can produce this kind of sound from a properly recorded midi(available from their web)
