I've found that the Roland with "after-touch" has piano-like response and sensitivity that leaves Yamaha in the dust. Price is similar. RD-700GX: Digital Stage Piano. This model features Roland's copy of the real piano's escapement (after-touch) feel. These Epianos are capable of nuances and subtle shading that others lacking this feature cannot match. The key-weight is still too low for my taste but that seems to be the fare for the course. http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=923&ParentId=87 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Roland-RD700GX-DIGITAL-PIANO?sku=703119 Priced here at $2395.00 Good Luck Andrew At 11:56 AM 4/29/2008, you wrote: >List, > >I'm thinking of purchasing a digital piano/synthesizer.
