One factor in that discussion which in a practical sense often makes the difference- is that the two companies exist in completely separate markets- by their own choice. It is very difficult to purchase a new hamburg in this country or a new york in Germany. That is just the way it is. We recently purchased a new D from new york- and love the piano. It is a gem. Originally we wanted a hamburg, but it all worked out fine in the end. Either way you will want to make a personal selection. dennis johnson St. Olaf College
