i would recommend using a midi controller with a laptop, you can get professionaly recorded samples of the pianos, and great plugins like native instruments B4, and Arturia for moog

i would recommend going en route laptop with a controller as well. Native Instruments/Arturia/G-media/etc. make really great repro's of the vintage sounds...more impressive than i would've ever imagined (much better than any multi-sound digi synth)...and i've owned or used quite a handful of vintage analog synths/organs/elec pianos.

this is a really cool site to bum yourself over..and drool on the 'wish i hads'

I agree the softsynth route is the way to go.

Grand Piano - East West Bosendorfer 290
Wurlitzer/Rhodes - NI Elektrik Piano
B3 - NI B4
Moog - Arturia Moog Modular.

You could probably get all this for around $700.
