So synthesizer type keyboards are better than digital keyboards?

I was looking at the S08 and people were saying that the piano sound wasn't that great.  Is there a way to tweak it on the keyboard to make it sound better?  Is this a case of "it is what it is"?  I know we're going to use the organs sounds more, but having a decent piano sound when needed is always cool.  Also, some complained about complicated menus.  I'm not sure what to make of this cause what's complicated for some is simple for others. 

BTW: what's a leslie?  Is it that petal thingy under the organ?  (wow I sound like a 6 yr old!  :D )

the author of this thread did not specify the amount of keys or their weight

Oops!  I don’t think the weight of the keyboard matters too much.  As long as it won’t give anybody a hernia as they’re trying to carry it into the church.  I definitely want weighted keys.  I prefer 88 keys over 61.  I have an 88 key keyboard and I like it.  My friend has a 61 key keyboard and it feels kind small for me.  However I’m not going to be the one playing (unless I get better before we get the keyboard).  After we get enough money to move into the new church building one of the next things on the to-do list (other than renovations) is to get a keyboard.  What size do you usually play with?

The leslie is the spinning speaker that connects to a Hammond Organ. You dont have to worry about that yet. (unless you plan on gettin an organ)

If you plan on using organ sounds I suggest that you get the Mo8. If you cant afford a new one, then get used one for like $1100 or (hopefully) less. Then I suggest that yall start saving up for a real organ in the future

As for the S08, yes, you will be able to tweak the sounds, but the organs probaaly wont cut it.
