Sorry it took a while to respond. The lower priced Korgs are not exactly renown for the their quality keyboard action. A big part of it that the pivot point is too far forward, making expression difficult if you play too far "up" the keys. In addition, the black keys have a different resistance compared to the white keys.

I second the suggestion for a used Electro 3.

after playing on it for a while, I didn't even notice the synth action. 16 buttons layed out for favorites. Whatever sound I need is one click away.
The Wurlitzer and Rhodes are just as good as the nord. Pianos are very good too. strings good. No physical drawbars, but very good presets,.,actually, with one of the pitch wheels you can adjust the drawbar sounds... 9 pounds.....
Nord stays at home now, too expensive and heavy to take out. well, not that 18 pounds is too heavy, but half the weight makes plenty a difference.
