I just unpacked my Roland RD-700NX that was delivered today. I am so excited!! Again, thank you all for your very informed answers to all the questions I had during my search for a digital piano. Here are two pictures of my new beauty. Cheers!

Sweet! For the "Concert Grand" try turning off the reverb, chorus, compressor, sound focus, and EQ. Turn up the sympathetic resonance to at least 64. Use good headphones. Also try the "Studio Grand" with the same settings but turn up the bass EQ +6 dB.

Thanks gvfarns! Thanks for the settings Dewster! Will try them out. Rob, It was turned off the first 30 mins because it is cold here today and the piano was frozen in the beginning...  Now it is on and I am just resting my fingers. The piano is absolutely amazing! Back to playing my new favorite; Canon Fantasy as arranged by Lee Galloway.

It's a fun piano to play, though, and a good reason to spring for the 700NX over the FP-7F.

Congrats. Looks very sweet.
Still got a 700NX on my list. It's a good all-rounder. Love Roland's stands.

Congrats! But I don't know how you would play this without an amp/speakers. Or are you a headphone kind of guy?

Yes, finally! Regarding speakers/amp; for now I'll only practise on this DP with headphones when I don't want to disturb others or when the kids are asleep. When I want to play so others can hear I'll use my AP.

The Studio Grand bass is a little light, isn't it? It's a fun piano to play, though, and a good reason to spring for the 700NX over the FP-7F. Yes, that and the arguably more straightforward layer-based internal architecture / user interface on the NX (and - say what you will - the SN EPs).

@amaruk. Did you get the 3-pedal unit? It's worth having.

Now I'm beginning to wish I had three pedals, and I can't even explain why. You need it. Think Rach c-sharp minor prelude. Lots of Debussy. I get a kick out of the fact that the Imperfect Samples 1908 Steinway D seems to support a full sostenuto pedal when the original AP on which it's based does not.
