Now you've gone and done it Cliffie..a Dinosaur??? I get your point and do agree with you about the diskclavier. In a recording studio, or even on stage, they are easier to set up and sound better than those pianos that are not mic'd properly. But I'll take a Yamaha C-7, professionally set up over anything digital you can throw at me..any day...any time...any where...but..I myself would go the clavinova /diskclavier route for a studio/performance because I don't have the stage helpers or the know how on setting up a real piano....
