Maybe try Casio PX-5S or PX-560...

Agreed

I think the most common 88 key Fatar keybed is the TP100, which is what is in the SL 88 studio (which is half the price). and also in Native Instruments and Arturia's 88 key controllers. It's obviously a lighter feel, and nice, but definitely not IMO on the same level as the  SL 88 Grand.

One option you might consider if you are set on the wood keybed, but don't want to pay the new price is looking for an older Studio Logic model that used the wood keybed. Prior to getting the SL Grand, I had a Numa Nero controller that used an older version of the TP40. You can pick those up on eBay for $400-$500. I don't think they are really supported anymore in terms of software, but they are quite simple and mine worked fine for a couple of years.

Hi I’m trying to find a MIDI keyboard with “most” realistic piano feel. i haven’t tried the Studiologic SL88 GRAND but it seems like a good choice. I was wondering if there is something cheaper that feels like a piano, maybe even better than the SL88?

All I need is a MIDI keyboard or DP that feels like a good real piano, nothing else needed, even wheels or joysticks.

Thanks in advance.

M Audio 88 Hammer maybe. I played it for a bit and thought it was okay-ish.
