Damper resonance and Hammer response for authentic feel.2 track sequencerAllows Duet model and split keyboard function - another good feature for beginners or taking lessons

The PX860 also has some nice features that aren't included in the PX160, but at twice the price!The pluses of the PX160 are:1

Being able to use earphone is a great feature.

This feature will definitely be useful when my daughter begins lessons

We compared keyboards from a half dozen brands and in prices from $300 to over $7,000 and liked this one almost as well as the $7,000 piano.4
