How about a decent controller, together with Pianoteq?
http://www.pianoteq.com/
Pianoteq just feels soooo much better than any sampled Piano.
Although it's still a Piano synthesizer and therefore, big quality sampled Pianos will 'still' sound a little better.
But it's the sympathetic resonance on Pianoteq which makes it 'feel' so much alive.
And sympathetic resonance is something which is totally not there in sampled Pianos and digital Pianos.
Except for Roland V-Piano. |

thx Nickberber.
@Djones: thx, i'll listen to it. But i still needing 88 wighted keys with a "piano feel".
I already have a couple of midi controller (2 oct oxygen 8 and a 5 oct master keyboard) but they have nothing to do with the behavior of a piano.

btw i bought that piano.
pro: 88 wighted keys, price, integrated speakers and 5 timbres
cons: the noise that the key do when pressed, sometimes when i push a key softly it doesn't emit any sound

@makus: yes!
A better digital piano would be too much more expensive, and a plain 88 keys controller would haven't the ability to play in a stand alone way or those nice hammered keys so i gone for the casio cdp 100.

No Makus, unluckily i am just a beginner, my left hand is so lazy and rebel! 
My girlfriend is a pro player but she is out of town at the moment. She tried it at the shop and she said it was good enough (obviously considering the price/quality ratio).
BTW My first thoughts:
-to play piano is a nice way to improve composition skills: basses, leads, chords, counterpoint, rhythm...
-no more tiny 2 octaves midi controller
-hammered keys will make your fingers tired
and maybe the most shocking right now:
-musical notation is the best way to read or write music, i was used to underrate it but when you can use it you have a really powerful tool
PS: the internal sounds pretty sucks but anyway when i wanna hear a bosendorfer or a steinway i connect the casio cdp100 to my pc and the job is done.
