Music is Life
The Korg M1 and Roland D50 are undoubtedly classics, have good keybeds and recognisable sounds, through featuring in many songs from the 80s and 90s. Their samples are relatively short so the looping can be noticeable on held-down notes. Another one to add to the list is the Korg Wavestation.
Your budget, seen in an earlier version of another posting, was originally £200, which seemed on the low side, and the examples in the list appear to be selling around the £300-400 mark.
From the sound quality point of view, and for not much more money (about a night out's worth) boards like the Korg Krome might be worth considering. There's one listed on Gumtree in Gloucester at the moment, so about an hour's drive away. Also the M50 is good value for money. Their keybeds are not as good as the M1, but if the sound quality is paramount, then go for it. The Krome and M50 are also relatively light, so easier to carry around.
Listen to some YouTube videos using a good pair of headphones, concentrating on the videos recorded using the direct line outs, rather than speakers and camera mic, to get a better impression of the sound quality.
