Thinking about buying a K2500XS

Hi. I'm interested in buying a keyboard soon. Something that I can use for gigs as well as for composing/recording at home. The K2500X(S) looks pretty good to me. Thing is, I'm not incredibly familiar with how synthesizers work... while not computer-illiterate, I practically am "keyboard-illiterate." There are two things I want to know. Not trying to sound stupid or anything, but by saying sequencing, does that mean I have 16 or 32 tracks to individually record and layer together? I want to be able to compose/record stuff onto the keyboard. Second, what is the typical price range of this thing? I saw one for $4300 where I live in Massachusetts. That's as high as I'd ever go, but I'd prefer something cheaper. Any other non-Kurzweil alternatives for what I'm looking for (76 or 88 weighted-keys, good sequencing, etc.)? Any help you have to offer would be very much appreciated. I'm just kinda lost. JEFF :)
