Piano salesmen don't care, they have to eat, so they'll sell to anyone, but as a piano enthusiast, I always tell people unless you're serious and ok with the high upkeep cost of acoustic piano, just get a digital.

You used to be able to pick up a 61 key Casio keyboard for $60, nowadays theyre overpriced (covid). If you look at Walmart.com they sell digital 61 key keyboards with stands for like $70-$80, just get one with good reviews.
These cheaper keyboards dont have weighted keys so a 5 year old will have a better time getting used to it (weighted keys for young hands fatigue and cramp)
If he sticks to it and really enjoys it and advances later in life u can look for something like this. But 61 keys is all he needs for beginner-mid level
I've tried out Yamaha and Casio digital pianos and I very much like the action, weighted keys. Is the keybed on the Korg just as good?

S100 and B2, won't make much of a difference for what you're using it for. You can wait for s100 to come back to $300, but what's the point. Just buy this B2 now.
We would like to see the B2 hit $300, that would be interesting.
B2 action is a bit better than S100, because the S100 is keys are really short.
If I remember correctly the CT-S100 keys have just one volume level. So if you play soft or hard it's the same volume. That will make learning proper piano technique tough.

I had bought the Korg B2 (when on sale), Yamaha P-125, and the Roland FP-30X, and so far the Roland is my favorite for their PHA4 mechanics, their proprietary Apps and Bluetooth connectivity, and overall quality, albeit it is slightly more expensive than the former by roughly $400 and $100, respectively.
You could say that the better the quality the higher the price like laptops and computers, but just like laptops and computers if you know exactly what you are looking for, you know exactly what you are getting and what to expect for that extra $100-$400. I wish I could have tried them at a physical store, but there are none near where I live so I had to order them online. Fortunately for me the stores I bought them from accepted my returns and I am left happily with my favorite digital piano.
The audio fidelity I find spectacular. The speakers are very loud and clear with good definition and bass, no excessive hiss or artifacts even at max volume (which is loud). it does emit a tiny bit of hiss from the speakers at all times if you put your ear up to it but nothing distracting; better that than poor quality speakers or poor piano samples like most others in this price. the instrument sample quality is better than others in the price range.
I also have listened via Sennheiser HD560S headphones plugged directly in the 3.5mm jack and sound is similarly excellent
the one and only downside to this unit is that while you can split the keyboard for 2 players (teaching mode), you cannot play 2 different patches at the same time (i.e. you can't do strings+piano), which may or may not be a problem. personally I'll take the higher fidelity sound in it's price range over more features.
Also, re: aesthetics see attached (this is with the optional stand Korg offers). Looks pretty amazing to me!
If you have to get something now, I think fp30x is a good choice. I would like to add caution as if you intended to practice ALOT, Fp30x's PHA4 is not a good action choice, because it's really heavy. For extended practice sessions, Kawai's RHC / RHC2 , Yamaha's GHS, This korg's NW, are more suitable.
It's on back order, but is $799 a good price? TIA

AMONG these fundamentally rip-off products, I do think the DGX 670 represents better value than most, as it comes with alot of articulable sounds and better arranger / recording features.
It's something you can have more fun with musically. All the other products in the price range are extremely barebone.

Though it's double the B2 price right now, but I would think my kids will enjoy DGX 670 than the B2.
What is the equivalent of DXG-670 on KORG line up?
