Any recommendations?

I'm no keyboard technology expert, so I'd like something simple w/great pre-programmed sounds like piano organ clavinet etc; some more spacey futuristic sounds would be cool too, but that's lower priority.

Willing to spend $$$, but would rather spend $.

why not just hunt around for free soundfonts - natural studio's piano is ok... for clav I like Ticky Clav (included in T2). My favorite (expensive but worth it) Electric piano is Lounge Lizard from Applied Acoustice. There is a very nice pipe organ in GPO. I have't tried the drawbar organ vsti included in T2 - I assume its Z3 by Rumpelrauch Taips (sp) which is free.

SonikSynth 2, IK Multimedia (if you're bux up). Very nice on all the instruments you listed.

in my opinion, the best sounding piano i've heard is "ivory" by synthogy, and the best of the clav/wurly elec pianos is from scarbee their vintage keyboard collection is amazing. both are pricey and large libraries, but well worth it in my opinion

MDA Piano & E-Piano are not bad instruments, and they are free.

I've got a nice Steinway piano soundfont which was free. I'll try to remember where I go it from.
