Can anyone help me choose a beginner's electric piano for my daughter (and myself)?

How much should I pay?

Do I need 88 keys?

Currently looking at

Casio privia px-s1100 (the red model is so pretyy)

Yamaha p225 (these sounded best to my ears, but I don't dig the design)

Rolan fp-30x (like the sound and the design, but dislike the volume adjustment)

Or should I look for something xheaper? Or more?

Tried at store:

Yamaha p225b

Casio px-s1100

Roland fp-30x

Kawai es120

The Yamaha sounded the best (g.piano, their sampling is a step above)

The keys are all fully weighted hammer action keys for all model with Roland being the most consistent between black/white keys

But the faux Ivory/Ebony rexture on the s1100 makes it a joy to run my fingers on.

The headphone nerd in me says Yamaha

The mechanical keyboard nerd in me says Casio

Asked chat GPT for advise.

In summary

"Though both sound and feel are very important, it's gonna be a while before you start sounding remotely good, but you'll be stuck with how the key feels from day one."

Cool. Thanks.
