<html> <body> I've found that the Roland with "after-touch" has piano-like response and sensitivity that leaves Yamaha in the dust.  Price is similar. <h2>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.</h2> <a href="http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=923&ParentId=87" eudora="autourl"> http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=923&ParentId=87 </a> <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Roland-RD700GX-DIGITAL-PIANO?sku=703119" eudora="autourl"> http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Roland-RD700GX-DIGITAL-PIANO?sku=703119</a> Priced here at $2395.00 Good Luck Andrew At 11:56 AM 4/29/2008, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">List, I'm thinking of purchasing a digital piano/synthesizer.  Gasp!  The horrors ... I know.  :-)  But I think it would be fun to play around with one.  And I'm not at all abandoning acoustic pianos -- they are the best! Anyway, thought there might be a few folks here who could share their experiences with a keyboard.  Does anyone on the list have a good recommendation?  I'm wanting a weighted action.  Looking at a Yamaha S90 ES -- anyone familiar with those?  Price range < $2500.00 preferably. Or, any thoughts about the Moog Piano Bar thing?  That would be another option, I suppose.  I'd ultimately like to connect a keyboard/MIDI device to my Mac to dink around in GarageBand.
