Ok, I am going to take piano lessons and wanted to get a keyboard so that I could practice at home. I narrowed my choices to two based more on less on price but one seems to have more features than the other, which may make it a better choice but I'm not sure.

Option #1 is Casio WK-200 76-Key Personal Keyboard (with MP3/Audio Connection and 570 Tones)
Here is a link to it: http://www.amazon.com/Casio-WK-200-Personal-Keyboard-Connection/dp/B001FSJC2I

and

Option #2 Yamaha PSRE223 61-Key Portable Keyboard with Survival Kit
here is a link to this one: http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-PSR-E223-61-key-Portable-keyboard/dp/B003JMEUCA

I know it's not the same as an actual piano but I want to get as close as possible so that I can practice and become my best and get a good sound from the keyboard as well.

I appreciate any advice you can give. Thank you!
 
I would definitely suggest the casio. It has a lot more features than yamaha. You can also learn piano in a digital keyboard because it can also be program to piano tunes. And once you master the piano you have to progress more and need some more everything that this advance keyboard can give.
 
Few differences there, Casio is 76 notes and Yamaha is 61 notes, so if you are taking piano lessons, i would go the 76 note or better 88 note, The Yamaha will sound better though as the piano sounds are more authentic than the Casio but the yamaha 223 doesn't have velocity sensors so you wont hear any dynamics. Suggestion would be the Yamaha 323 which does have dynamics but will be hard if you taking piano lessons and learning on a keyboard. You really need to practice on a piano or Digital Piano. But if you gotta get the keyboard i would suggest the Yamaha models.
