My Kurzweil PC3 is great but a beast to carry. My main need is for a gigging keyboard with hammer-weighted action and something to work well with Ableton and Arturia backing tracks with midi control, supplemental sounds; some effects would be a nice bonus. Thoughts on the Roland JunoDS88 for this purpose?

Or a Kurzweil PC4 if you're fond of that sound.

A NordElectro 6 HP maybe, has 73 keys hammer action keybed

NordStage 4 also has hammer action in other sizes

The Nord Stage-4 88 is ~42 pounds.

Stage 4 seems excellent -- everything one needs for performance -- but I'm not at the point with my gigging I could justify the premium cost.

It is 10 pounds lighter than the Kurzweil though

Replace Kurzweil with Juno DS?
