Quick take
The main choice in keyboards and pianos here is not simply which price is lowest: it is whether you need an 88-key digital piano for learning and playing, a Roland piano with microphone-focused features, or a carry case for a Yamaha CK61 keyboard. The two Yamaha P-145BT options share the core appeal of touch-sensitive, weighted 88 keys, Bluetooth audio, and a slim home-piano format. Their listed prices differ, while one title includes a padded bag. Roland's FP-90X moves into a different use case with hammer action, mic input, and vocal effects. The Yamaha SC-DE61 is a soft case rather than a piano.

The listed range runs from USD 309.99 to USD 2,299.99. Among the instruments, the Yamaha P145BT P-Series at USD 469.99 is the lower-priced 88-key piano; the padded-bag P145BT is listed at USD 675.40. The Roland is the choice when its mic-oriented feature set matters enough to shape the purchase.

Product notes
Yamaha Pro Audio P145BT Black 88-Key Digital Piano with Padded Bag
Choose this Yamaha P-145BT when an 88-key digital home piano and the padded bag named in the title suit the same purchase. It is described with touch-sensitive, weighted keys, a grand-piano sound, and Bluetooth audio that can stream songs through the piano's speakers. Its slim design also fits the home-focused P-Series approach to rehearsal, learning, and creating. The limitation is its listed price: USD 675.40 is higher than the USD 469.99 Yamaha P145BT P-Series option, despite both models being described as 88-key Yamaha digital home pianos with Bluetooth audio. This version makes the most sense when the padded-bag wording is a deciding detail.
Yamaha Pro Audio P145BT P-Series 88-Key Digital Piano with Bluetooth
This is the direct pick for a player seeking the lower listed price among the two Yamaha P-145BT 88-key pianos. At USD 469.99, it is described as a slim digital home piano with touch-sensitive, weighted keys, rich grand-piano sound, and built-in Bluetooth audio for playing along with streamed music. The description specifically frames it for beginners, returning players, rehearsal, learning, and creating. Its trade-off is straightforward: its title does not include a padded bag, unlike the USD 675.40 Yamaha P145BT Black 88-Key Digital Piano with Padded Bag. Choose it when the piano's 88-key, Bluetooth-centered playing experience is the priority.
Roland FP-90X Portable Digital Piano Mic Input Vocal Effects (Black) PRO
Pick the Roland FP-90X when your piano setup includes a microphone or vocal processing. Its listed attributes specify hammer action, mic input, and vocal effects, giving it a clearly different focus from the two Yamaha P-145BT choices. It is a black digital home piano and is marked for all experience levels, so the feature set can suit a player who wants piano and vocal functions together. The limitation is the USD 2,299.99 listed price, the highest in this group. It is best matched to shoppers who will use the mic input and vocal effects rather than those who simply need an 88-key beginner-oriented piano.
Yamaha SC-DE61 Backpack Style Soft Case Pro Audio for CK61 930 × 335 mm Black
The Yamaha SC-DE61 serves a separate need: it is a black backpack-style soft case for a Yamaha electronic keyboard, with CK61 named in the title. Choose it when protecting and carrying that keyboard is the goal rather than adding another instrument. The title gives its 930 × 335 mm format, and its attributes identify Yamaha compatibility and an electronic-keyboard use. At USD 309.99, it is the lowest listed item in the comparison. Its essential limitation is equally clear: this is a soft case, not a digital piano. It does not replace either Yamaha P-145BT or the Roland FP-90X for someone who needs keys to play.
Final recommendation by use case
For the most direct 88-key starting point, choose the Yamaha Pro Audio P145BT P-Series 88-Key Digital Piano with Bluetooth at USD 469.99. Select the Yamaha Pro Audio P145BT Black 88-Key Digital Piano with Padded Bag when the padded bag named in its title is part of the plan. Choose the Roland FP-90X Portable Digital Piano Mic Input Vocal Effects (Black) PRO when hammer action, a mic input, and vocal effects are central to how you will play. If the need is transportation for a CK61, the appropriate choice is the Yamaha SC-DE61 Backpack Style Soft Case Pro Audio for CK61 930 × 335 mm Black.
