its well made and the action is very good the casio feels cheap. not to mention I purchased mine new at $1400 taxed ,so any price  $500 and lower is for me is the way to go also one other thing to mention no pitch or mod wheel, for that I use the bcf 2000 midi controller

The P90 is an older model, but was really good (I owned the P80, which was even older and lacked partial pedal capability).  In my opinion it is probably better actionwise than the casios you mention.  Soundswise...the casio will have better tech specs, but if I were to guess I think most people would rate the subjective sound of the P90 as better.   It's the predecessor to the CP33 and P155, which are pretty nice pianos.
