I recently bought a CT-X800 to replace my old CTK-711EX. There's a trade-off: the CT-X has some sounds that are a lot better than the ones my CTK had, but the CTK had functions the CT-X doesn't have. Missing from the CT-X is the mixer function that lets you adjust the relative volume level between different parts of the keyboard or the different parts of a layered tone. I like more bass, but can't boost the bass with the CT-X. The CT-X also resets to the default tones each time it's turned off and back on, and it turns itself off automatically. My CTK would always boot up to the last tones and rhythm I used before turning it off. Creating user tones with synth functions is also absent from the CT-X. I've had the new CT-X for about two weeks, and still haven't decided if the great new tones keep me from missing the functions my CTK had. IF my interest was only in the piano sound and the playability, the CT-X would win hands down for sounding good and having a low price. But no, I like using split and playing a bass with my left hand. The only advice I can offer is know what you like.
