I am interested about buying a digital piano with weighted keys. Would you suggest any in particular? Does that feel like real piano?

Bob, welcome to music.SE! Shopping recommendations are generally off topic here. Please see the faq. Possibly you could ask for what properties to look for or consider when buying a digital piano unless such a question already exists. – Ulf Åkerstedt Jul 15 '12 at 13:47
As noted, shopping rec. is off topic. The questions Babu has linked should give you plenty of information on this. – NReilingh♦ Jul 16 '12 at 0:22

A feature called something like hammer mechanics (depending on the manufacturer) improves similarity to a real piano even beyond weighted keys. There will still be people claiming, that they recognize the difference, but I guess there were no scientific test made and acoustic pianos are also not all equal. Have a try and decide for yourself.
