Dave;
 I agree with Richard here but I don't think you could go wrong with any of 
the two pianos you mention, i.e. Hamburg 'B' and M&H 'BB'.  The main thingee 
here is don't buy nuttin you don't play first and don't accept delivery of 
anything but the instrument you played on.

 The NY and Hamburg thingees are distinctly different animals and each have 
their strengths and weaknesses. The NY 'tends' to have a brighter sound, and 
the Hamburg 'tends' to have a more mellow sound...the three new M&H 'BB's I 
have had an opportunity to play around with each displayed different tonal 
characteristics that 'tended' more toward the Hamburg than the 
NY,.................but again individual pianos display individual 
characteristics and the committee should not choose without playing.

  As someone else has said the type of recording you plan on doing should 
somewhat affect your choice of instrument.
