Yes, I think it'll be one keyboard.
I noted up front the budget was a little flexible so part of what I need to better understand is how big of a difference a few hundred US$ makes and whether, given our intro/intermediate level, we'll use/appreciate the differences.
I'm also working to better understand the keyboard-DAW balance (e.g. pros/cons of where the production work gets done). My limited experience with a little MIDI controller had everything happening on the computer, of course (voices, effects, quantizing, etc.). Since we're not gigging, I'm still wondering if a fairly straightforward keyboard can meet the piano-experience needs + essentially serve as a fancy midi controller.
We're not in a huge hurry, so I'm reading and thinking about all this. Again, thanks for the ideas.
BTW, I thought it was interesting that the basic guide articles on this site are pretty dismissive of Roland and quite positive about Yamaha piano sounds. But that's probably a debate for another day...
