Anyone seen or heard one of these? Need cheap piano for home studio setup

They have two of the Prokeys models (and keystation models) from thomann upstairs in Musicmaker in Dublin city centre (just off Grafton Street).

The SX



is the stripped down version of this

The main difference being that the Prokeys 88 has 14 instruments rather than 7 and that it has hammer action keys rather than semi-weighted keys. The Prokeys SX shares the same keybase as this

Which is 220euro on thomann but is just a bog standard midi-controller keyboard. I have one and its quite decent, but it is not a stage piano. Most piano players would just refuse to play on one of these. I'd advise saving up and going for the Prokeys 88 or maybe even having a look at the Casio stage pianos like this one for 444 euro

Last I saw, Waltons had it stocked - thought it was quite decent when I played it.

Not a seasoned pianist so I could care less about the semi weighted keys my main issue would be the sound might give a call in and try it out.
Thanks for that
