The two problems with a midi only keyboard and garage band is that you *have* to have the computer powered up, connected to the keyboard, software running etc. every time you want to play. With a proper electric piano you flick the switch and start playing. The 2nd problem is as I mentioned that the kids we have that learn on keyboards struggle with playing a real piano, muscle memory is such a big part, and once they get past 'learning the notes' they struggle with dynamics badly, as they can't practice properly at home.
