I use two different pianos.  Nord Stage for many gigs and Kurzweil PC1se for other shows.  I do like Korg pianos and the Roland V that one other member was talking about.

The keyboard player for our trio Odradek also tried a Kurzweil for a time and also didn't like it. He then got the Korg SV-1 and raves about it - though he's somewhat biased, being the long-time owner of an MS10 - MS20 pair. Not being one to make an accurate appraisal, FWIW, I prefer the Korg sound also.
