i have the same dilemma with a rhodes 73 stage model......
the rhodes is not nearly as popular (or hence as valuable in the market) as
it was several years ago...probably because now for the price of a rhodes
(or less) the working musician can buy synths that will approximate the
rhodes and thousands of other sounds. if you are not in any hurry to sell your
rhodes, you might eventually find someone who is willing to pay $700.00
or $800.00 for it, but if you want to get into synths, try to get some cash,
decide which synth you want, and go into the store with your rhodes and
$500.00 less that what the synth goes for....they might give you a trade-in
for it. i know this probably pisses you off... it did me, but i've been
trying to sell mine for a year now (it's in mint condition, electronically
customized, and sounds great!!!!!) but the rhodes piano has really taken
a beating in the recent synth explosion.
the only synths that i know of that come with piano actions are:
rhodes chroma
ppg 2.3
kurzweil
synclavier
as you may know these  are all terribly expensive synths (i have a chroma
and it's great.....but they stopped making them, if you can find one in
a store, try to make a deal....i got mine for 1/3 the price of a year ago)
