Of course the Galaxy Steinway is a little under priced if you don't have a computer or a sound card. But this comparison was done partly to proove that instruments can compete even though the price difference might be huge. For instance there is a huge difference in price between the Kurwzeil and the P-90.

Well, more so in the samples we heard, actually both the keyboard and the sound card would have to be connected to an amp so that will not make any of them better sounding. The hardware is of course crucial, so ifyou would need a good sound card for the Galaxy Steinway you would have to add about 1000 euro. The price gap is still huge and for those who already have a computer and a good sound card they get really much sound for a low price tag in comparison.
