Hi people! I've had an old, reasonably cheap keyboard that I've been playing on and off for about three years. In this last year I've taken learning to play more seriously and have recently decided on getting a new keyboard/electronic piano.

The biggest problem is the one I have now only has 61 keys, which is really frustrating me because there's some songs I can't play. Some suggestions for what brands or ... really, anything you can think of, especially concerning value-for-money, would be ball-tearingly helpful. Some notes:

- I'm willing to spend around $1,500 Aud.
- I'd like something with 88 keys and a sustain pedal, like an actual piano.
- Obviously I want this to be an investment that will last for ages.
- Having MIDI input and output capabilities is a must (for band stuff..)

That's all I can think of for now. I'm a bit of an idiot so if I haven't made anything clear or you just have questions, ask me.
Thanks in advance for any help.
