I really like the touch a lot, as much as the CP-300 I had here for some time.
The only difference I could find is that the CP-300 has a slightly faster repetition rate than the P-85.
I'd love to have an arranger with the P-85's key-bed and the S900's arranger section and sounds....I'd even settle for 76 notes...as long as they kept the graded weighted hammer action.
The speakers in the P85 work perfectly for their intended purpose, as do the ones in the S900...they are primarily "home" instruments.
I tried the old "flex test" with the P-85...rock solid.
I am quite impressed with this lightweight piano and how nice it works midi'd to the S900...I have several friends who feel the same way.
Sure would be nice to see this type key-bed on the S900.

I sell a P-85 as a controller for the S900 on occasion. They are a good fit for light travel with a 88 and an arranger. The P-85 weighs nothing for an 88 key board.
Also There is no comparison between the piano sounds on the 85 and the CP300 though. I think they use the low end CLP for the P-85 and the high end multi key sampled CLP series for the CP300.
