    Your choice is a Casio or a Yamaha and at the cheaper end Yamaha is always going to win for sound.

    The Yamaha EZ220 seems like a reasonable choice which comes with the education suite. I assume you can download additional songs and midi files.

    I believe you can't load midi files into the keyboard but would have to play them from a computer connected to the keyboard via usb.
