HI please helppp me pick an instrument

[piano_77]

Hey everyone,
My biggest problem right now is that I am trying to purchase a 88 weighted keyboard, but I am having a problem right now deciding between weighted balanced keys and hammered keys. I have narrowed the keyboards down to these two. Please if you would advise me on which is best that would be great. Thank you so much for your help. 
This is the one that has weighted balanced keys:

This is the one that have hammered keys:

As an instructor which one would you recommend me buying? Also, if you have another keyboards that you would recommend me buying that is in the this price range around $1,000 or less would be great. I have also considered the Casio Privia line, but was not sure how well they were compared to these models.
I have interests in making songs and writing songs so please advise me which is best for me.

Ive had it for almost a year now and I absolutely love it feels just like a grand piano. Has tons of different piano sounds as well as modifiable Piano sounds. Great for gigs if you ever do any or taking back and forth to classrooms? never had and problem with hooking up it through midi, never had to remap anything or mess with anything complicated just plug in and record.
if not this one then id say go with the first link you posted. Don't go for casio.

Ya but piano_77 has a $1000 ceiling. For $999 he can get a professional grade Kawai that can compete directly in terms of tone and keyboard action with the professional Roland you mention. It will have less features but the Roland sale price Is over $2600. Have a look and listen to Kawai here:
  

Of the two pianos he linked us to the second is a Graded Hammer Standard ( GHS) digital grand piano. It seems not to have capability to hook to a PA system for playing out through a PA based recording or live show PA system other than one 1/4" head set jack which generally doesn't work out too hot. It has means of recording otherwise though.

 The first a synthesizer. Demo of MO6 and MO8 synth:
 

                     

 I have not done much comparing of synthesizers, obviously they do give the most mixing options for professional recording.. However for pianos in the professional class I've come to like Kawai ( MP5, MP6, MP8, MP10 and now the lighter brother EP3) for their tonality and true grand piano key action at a cost effective price personally. GHS can not compare and IMO it would be worth the $200 more to own at least a GH piano vs GHS ( at least for my use, someone else may need more features). The Kawai action and tonality is second to non but also not the only choice out there I might add..

It may be for what piano_77 wants to do a synth may do the trick, not to mention the lighter action of a GHS piano ( though that is a cheaper system). Only he can really decide that. But I do know that any Yamaha digital piano I've listened to that starts to get all the features and sound I want ends up being $1500 and higher in price, though with a very nice feature set ( except the slowly outdating CP33, that's around $1200).

I too would skip Casio. I might ( I did say might) consider some Korgs in the up to $1000 range but believe i would buy the Kawai or CP 33 before that...
