Compared to my last few keboards.... the PA80 piano is much better. It's more dymamic and playable than:
psr2000, SD1 & XD9.
It's not the same sound as the Triton, so don't judge it by that standard. While it's not my favorite sound .... it IS substatially bettar than most things in it's price class. My favorite so far was the 9000pro or Roland products. I liked the kn7000 piano too, but I hated the kn5000.
It's all a judgement call. I hate a lot of acoustic pianos too! The tone of a piano is way too complex to sum up in one catagory. It's like comparing organ sounds ... there are millions of drawbar settings - it's impossible to "zero in" on THE Hammond sound, for example.
Play it alot, and use the system that you own ... that's the only way to tell if you will like it in a performanmce.
