Electronic piano or percussion piano?
Electronic pianos are usually least expensive, but they don't have the rich, warm and subtle nuance and sound that a acoustic (or as you say percussion) piano can make. Usually, good electronic pianos range from 1,000 to 2,000$, medium end straight acoustic pianos range from 3,000 to 7,000 while high end go up to 14,000 - 17,000$ and good grand pianos go from 8,000 to 20,000$ and the most expensive concert pianos can go upward a 100,000$. Even though the electric pianos are cheaper it is worth spending a bit more for a percussion piano. (Minor detail: when you learn off a percussion piano you have a lot more chance of being able to tell exactly what note is being played.) There is also a completely different feel to a percussion piano that is worth getting used to.

Why does the piano belong in the percussion family?
Most people don't consider it a percussion instrument, as most percussion involves directly striking the surface that makes the sound (thus the definition of percussion), whereas depressing piano keys cause hammers to strike stretched strings. Due to the fact that a Piano has strings, it is usually classified with guitars, harps, and other stringed instruments as a Chordophone. The classification is arguable though, as pianos have many similarities with the xylophone, vibraphone, and marimba, which are considered percussion instruments. As per my 5th grade music class, it is a percussion instrument and is listed as such in many 5th grade music books. The second paragraph of Wikipedia's page on Pianos briefly addresses the classification issue (see related link).
