LF: Piano/Keyboard Best for Beginner

[chryslerintrepid]

We wanted to start our son with piano lessons but need a keyboard or electric piano for him. Any and all opinions appreciated on what brands/make/model or what I should be looking for in buying one for him. Size also - can I get away with a small keyboard for now or do I need something with all 88 keys.

Thanks!

My wife (piano teacher) says that 88 keys is not necessary for a beginner. She does recommend something touch-sensitive though. She uses Casio keyboards for her classes and we have an electric 88 key Roland piano at home that she loves.
