I bought my digital piano for about $700AU and it's a Casio. However, it is not my main instrument of choice - I have an actual "acoustic" piano as well. If I didn't have a real piano as well, I probably would have splurged a little more on the digital piano. I only really bought it for gigging/performing live. But the main things I look for in a digital piano are:

1) Full length
2) Weighted keys
3) Sustain pedal option
4) Authentic sound

These are all pretty basic features so you can't go wrong really. My Casio serves me well, it's still not the same as playing a real piano though...
