PSR-K1 is like low cost 535 which can store songs and has SCORE music notation display
Bad: SmartMedia is obsolete but you can still get card readers and media. SmartMedia was launched in the summer of 1995 as alternative to floppy disk. Good: You can store songs on media, but it's SmartMedia, not SD cards. No USB to device so can't save directly to computer.
PSR-E443 $250.00 (no lyrics and score, but saves to computer or usb stick, runs on batteries)
The 230 can only save 5 songs to internal flash memory, and can't save to computer. If you hook it up to a computer to a DAW digital audio workstation, you can record MIDI on a program like Garage Band.
DGX-500 saves to floppy drive (obsolete but you can get USB emulator to replace drive)
DGX-505 saves to SmartMedia (obsolete) card slot let you import and store new songs
large LCD displays crystal-clear scores, lyrics. No USB to device save.
DGX-535 has a heavy fixed wooden stand but can be used without the stand (fixed by screws, no quick release) 535 will not run on batteries, AC power only. 235 takes 6 big "D" batteries. Yamaha does not currently make any 88 key instruments that will run on batteries.
Manual only has information to save songs to smartmedia, but not to usb-todevice
