The biggest unmentioned issue with this "Piano'

No one who is listening will notice the minutiae. No one will care whether its a V this or RD or CP. All they will hear is......."Piano" Period. The technology like in the hifi world has gone well beyond the biology of the Avg Joes ears.

Joe doesn't "listen" to music. He "hears"
it.

The race for the best sounding digital piano was over years ago for all but the most "discerning" ears or those who claim to be able to hear a gnat fart in the key of Eb while playing in C.

This is getting to be like Engadget's making fools of Audio experts with a blind test between Monster cable and coat hangers.http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/audiophiles-cant-tell-the-difference-between-monster-cable-and/

People by spec sheets.
"if you've dropped enough cash, you can probably hear anything you want"

I would bet there are "piano players" who in a blind test would embarrassingly surprise their own bias' If that piano was a Yamaha DIKI would find fault with it just hearing it and knowing nothing else.....IF the Avant Yamaha was a Roland IAN would find the same.

Its fun to read the circular and consistent arguments though.

Now if you are comparing the CP-70 to the Rhodes, or Wurlitzer 200 ALL mega successful pianos used for their INDIVIDUAL and DIFFERENT piano sound. What was Roland's "Piano" brand then.....the D-50?
