I should qualify that: out of the box Kawai is better, and since most pianos you encounter are out of the box and haven't had an adequate prep, this gives an edge to brands like Kawai or Yamaha. But a little voicing and regulation work makes the YC come alive compared to the Kawai, my anecdotal evidence.

Seems rather extreme. Perhaps you could state it as a preference. Personally I tune several YCs and on average I'll pick them over Kawai any day.
