Can you help me find a digital piano?

I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for. Here are some things I know I want:

Full sized (88 keys)
Fully Weighted Keys
Tons of Voices
Tons of Styles
Transpose (we'll use it until our pianst learns to modulate without it)
Durable/ Good Warranty
No more than $1000

Any suggestions? What else should I be looking for? Thanks for your help
Also, a feature to save songs on the piano/disk/cd/usb/ whatever
styles = background beats that come w/ the keyboard

transpose = a feature that changes the main key of the keyboard.

Music Stores generally have about the same prices for digital equipment.
Look for the following makes when visiting a store or webpage.
Clavinova (the grand supreme)
Yamaha (Lots of different sounds and mixing options)
Casio (generally good at everything but doesn't stand out)

It's also very important not to listen to (store advice), they'll tell you anything to earn some money.
Keep a list of your specs in mind and don't go for any less.

Hope I helped
