What is the best keyboard/synthesizer to buy for jazz & funk under 2000?

Hello everyone!

I'm a guitar player looking to buy a keyboard/synthesizer for jazz and & funk but the amount of choices/information is very overwhelming. This is what I would like to get:

I would love something that can play many sounds (f.e. the rhodes sound). I love many sounds used by groups such as 'earth, wind and fire', 'gazerra', 'Casitopea', 'T-square' and so on. I would also love to be able to simulate the more mellow, jazzy piano sound. Something that I can also play classical with would be nice as well.

Preferably, it would be possible to use the piano on stage. 88 keys would be nice but it's not a must. A build-in speaker would be nice as well but it's also not necessary.

So far I've looked into keyboards such as 'korg sv-2', 'roland juno ds88', 'Korg Nautilus 88' and many others but I can't decide which one would suit my need the best.

Any information/ recommendations would be very helpful!

Thank you in advance for your help!

Edit: Thank you guys so much for your overwhelming help and the many recommendations! You're all amazing people and an amazing community!
