More Features, Less Price

Casio and Yamaha are the two major players targeting the beginners market.

Besides, Casio normally offers more features than Yamaha for a given price.

For instance, the Full fingered mode... which can be found in Casio for a cheaper price. If you would be playing more of piano pieces, then go in for an electronic keyboard which has Full fingered mode.
