Suggest A Synthesizer For My Hobby Playing Needs

I'm a guitarist at heart but can manage few tunes on the synthesizer. I am NOT planning to learn to play keyboards but I'm definitely planning to upgrade my decade old CASIO SA-21 😲

I've been looking at different synthesizers and following are the ones that are within my budget -

Roland
Roland Edirol PC-50 USB MIDI Controller

CASIO
Casio CTK 810IN Musical Keyboard
Casio CTK700 61-Key
Casio CTK-4000
Casio CTK-3000
Casio CTK-2100

YAMAHA
Yamaha PSR-E223
Yamaha PSR-E323

I'm inclined towards YAMAHA as they've a wide range of Musical Instruments, however I'm not sure what I should be looking for while buying one.

Your suggestions are welcome!

    Thanks for the information 😀 . Is Karaoke & Mixing is not well supported in CASIO CTK 496? Does it have the ability to plug & play midi-tracks? If yes - what type of attachment does it support (Pen Drive, MicroSD etc)?

    I think both Pendrive and microsd.
    Don't know much about it though.
