One of the things I've noticed on many new pianos is that they often have absolutely no lost motion and the action feels verrrry heavy in comparison with what I would expect. I have also noticed that my upper forearms always ache when/after I play those pianos. Put some lost motion back, the tension goes away. I can only guess it's that teensy bit of initial momentum assisting before the jack makes contact. It took me a while to figure out that that was the culprit, and I'm not at all sure that my analysis of the effect is correct... but I do know that my arms stop aching. Completely anecdotal evidence, just in case it gives you another perspective (from somebody who's always more comfortable with quantifiable data <g>).
