digital keyboards. Which has best touch?

[gordon stelter]

My problem with digitals is not only the sound. Sure,
I'd like one that really sounds like a  Boesendorfer.
But I can live with a  sound "piano like" but
nonetheless pleasing to me and audience. What I can
NOT live with is an action that is difficult to
control on fast, complex runs. I have a  Clavinova,
considered ( I've heard ) the most piano-like in terms
of touch. But to compare it to a finely regulated
grand would be a joke!!!! Thoughts? Does anyone make a
better keyboard in terms of touch?
