Digital pianos

Can anyone give recommendations for digital pianos under £1000? The choice out there is bewildering. I'm thinking of getting a Yamaha YDP162, as it seems pretty decent, but maybe there's a better option that I haven't come across yet?

You in London baboon04?

Get down to the Yamaha showroom on Wardour Street in soho and have a play with the ones there.

I got a keyboard for my daughter a few months back and the main questions seemed to be:

1. Do you just want it to do piano sounds, or other stuff too?
2. How much do you want the key action to feel like a piano (the more it does, the more you will pay).

Thanks John - I went to a place on Denmark Street that had a few Yamahas, but missed the showroom. Will go back to take a look.

Key weighting is definitely the main question in my mind, but apparently there's also a big question with digital pianos about the volume sensitivity as well. Gets bewildering after you've read a few (inevitably conflicting) reviews...
