Yamaha keyboard - DGX 505 (new version on from the DX500)

Hi folks

I'm looking to buy a Yamaha Keyboard for my daughter. RRP is £500 approx but via price search websites have found it including delievery and adaptor for £378.

I am not musical at all but my daughter has turned out to be so. We would like this model as its got the full keyboard which she will need. She already does the flute and so we wanted a keyboard that will allow her to record things onto USB memory and to merge both her flute and piano playing together plus to basically have a good time with it.

I have walked into 3 different Music shops who all seem to be disinterested in advising us if this is a good keyboard for her- it seems to be the right one. We do not want a piano as we A) Cannot afford one and B) Dont have the room for one. This seems the best alternative while she is learning - if she gets really good at ti then we will upgrade to a "real" piano.

Any advice greatly received before I splurge out all that money
