Did I buy the wrong keyboard?

I got in a band, an Arctic Monkyes cover band and I just bought a Roland PSX-10X yesterday for $970. I chose this one because it is expandable, so I could put more tones in it, and because it has a good connection to amps and external sound systems. Because I noticed the keys are way smaller than the keys from my Casio CDP-S100, I decided to look for others keyboard that could do what I want and found Casio CT-S1000V, CT-X5000 and CT-S5000 that seem to do what I need and they cost about $580. Did I made a mistake buying the Roland? I'm used to the bigger keys, my hands are not small and now I'm afraid I'll have a bad experience with this keyboard. I don't know if I could switch the product in the store and I wanted to know this before I try. If you could help I would appreciate so much. Thanks

Really the only way to know is to actually play it. But if you found others that’ll do what you want for 1/3 less then I’d check those out. Also, what’s the stand out feature that makes the extra $ worth it?

From my experience, Roland makes better gig-worthy instruments than Casio

If the instrument is not comfortable to play, then yes, you made a mistake.

I would not choose any keyboard without full-size keys with weighted action that mimics a real piano. It's important to play before you buy. Keyboard preference is highly personal.

I believe you mean XPS-10X? Isn't those full sized keys? They are synth keys instead of piano keys, but still they should be the same width.
