Careful of bargain brands
Hi, stick with Yamaha or the Casio Previa. The Yamaha Clavinola series are great digital pianos, as well as the YPG series. The most important thing is how it feels- it should as close to an acoustic piano as possible.
The Casio Previa is a pro keyboard at an entry level price. The feel is great and it has built in speakers for a nice sound. I know a lot of professional players who use them on gigs where an acoustic piano is not avaialble.
Scot is available for skype jazz piano lessons (and google hangouts, phone call, etc...)

Best Digital Piano 2018 and Beyond
Hey Scot,
I stopped teaching piano two years ago but if I had studens today I would recommend them the Kawai VPC1 with Ravenscroft Samplings If you want real keys combined with the best samplings.
I wrote this article on this setup and how to get the best results from this.

I hope your students find this helpful.
