Excellent job Ted! Buying your first DP or keyboard is very difficult on your own if you are a beginner. One major problem I found, even with online reviews is that most people reviewing the keyboards are trained and are playing classical music. No one is going to demo a keyboard playing Gene Watson or Charlie Rich (country singers) and rightly so, it just isn't popular and there could be copyright issues doing so. No one is going to show the settings on a Kawaii es 920 that will turn it into something very close to a Yamaha CFX. (There would probably be a legal issue in doing that). My point is that both articles and online reviews sometimes miss the target.

I get it that some people don’t have much to spend on instruments, but there are so many families who drop tens of thousands on travel sports, yet won’t budge past a $100 Casio for a musical instrument. I’m with Ted, get an instrument that is inspirational.

That list is awful. I've played so many digital pianos. The Yamahas are always great for beginners with the action and quality of bass notes, especially the P-45 and P-105. Never purchase a Donner or Williams; they are awful.
