[CAUT] Fortepiano for University

 Greetings, 
     The school is considering acquiring a new fortepiano or a pianoforte.  The first question is which era, as they are not homogenized like pianos.  Another question is style of action, and yet another question is durability, I don't want to get a prima donna instrument that gets weird every time it is moved.  
   I also don't want to re-invent the wheel, so was hoping that other Cauts that  deal with the 18th century in an academic environment would offer a suggestion or two. 
Thanks,
