Electric piano? MIDI sampler?

I have a Kaysound MK-6101 MIDI controller. I used it for a while to learn very basic stuff, but it is not very good and the keys are not weighted at all. When I sat down to a real piano, I basically couldn't play anything because I wasn't used to the resistance of the keys.

So, I'm considering buying an electric piano or else a keyboard, with weighted keys.

Anything you'd recommended in the $500-1000 range? Would say a used Casio PX-700 digital piano be worth $450?
 
Best bet is to look for an 88 key Roland or Korg board if you have a tone genny with decent grand piano banks. Closest you're gonna get.
 
I don't have a sound module (although I do have a Mac with GarageBand and MIDI connection).
 
Looks interesting, but the online reviews suggest that the weighting on that thing isn't the greatest.

How's the latency with that?
I prefer hardware (Yamaha MU 100R) and it's dead on.

In any case definitely put your money on your keys first!
