I think you could have a compromise here and do the evaluations on 
something like a Yamaha silent piano.  Use only one piano and keep
changing 
the action parameters.  That way you wouldn't introduce the variable of a 
different piano but you would give the pianists some feedback from their 
playing so that it seemed more natural.
