I have an alternative view of them, LOL

Unless you are actually hauling one around (we'll get to that), you are better off spending any money on a REAL piano. Sorry to differ, but having used one quite a bit in the 80's, they never made me feel like I was playing a real piano. Now, don't get me wrong... they had a quite unique sound, and slap a chorus on them, you had the pop piano sound for much of the 80's synth-pop sound (think Thompson Twins, Phil Collins etc.), but if you are after a great piano sound, even a decent upright will get you a much better sound.

If you are crazy enough to be thinking about gigging... you can spend a LOT less on a good sampled piano, even less on a really good VSTi, or even most modern MOTL arrangers' built-in piano sound is better (more realistic, TBH), and you'll also find the CP70 piano sound in most arrangers too, if going for that 2 string sound (instead of the three per note in normal pianos). Nowadays, they really have no place left.

Better alternatives exist for studio, home AND stage.

About the only reason to have one would be if you have a ton of room, too much money and nothing better to spend it on, or are a hardcore fan of the Tony Banks/Phil Collins sound, and MUST have the original keyboard...
