I don't know nayone who regretted buying the 515. It seemed poor on trills when I first bought it, but now, nearly a year later, its so much better. There may be better actions out there, but we're talikng the racer`s edge here, and much more dosh.

If you are classical pianist at intermediate level, you get an acoustic piano, not a slab. The choice of acoustic vs digital has nothing to with your playing level.

Acoustic is acoustic, digital cannot match it.
The second best choice if you cannot have an acoustic piano for some reason, whether it is a grand piano or an upright, is to find a digital piano which translates your playing into sound most accurately.

To me Roland FP-90 wins because it has piano sound modelling, while its competitors Kawai ES8 / ES920 and Yamaha P515 do not. This is incorrect. P-515 features Virtual Resonance Modeling. Kawai employs similar sound processing. No, JoeT, it is correct. This forum used to be full of digital piano expertise. Now it's just newbies registering to lecture others.

As a classical pianist, once you reached a certain level, you go for an acoustic grand piano. Nothing else. And once you're past the beginner stage, you get at least an acoustic upright.

As a classical pianist, once you reached a certain level, you go for an acoustic grand piano. Nothing else. And once you're past the beginner stage, you get at least an acoustic upright. Digital pianos have a completely different application than acoustic pianos and that should define whether you buy one or the other, not playing level. Both types of pianos come in many different versions from small and portable to full size grand pianos.

There may be better actions out there, but we're talikng the racer`s edge here, and much more dosh. I bought it and returned it. The key action was much too heavy for me. So not everyone is happy with the P515

My registration date appears to be 2 years earlier than yours, does it make me more senior on this forum? OMG, newbies lecturing advanced adult hobbyists who learnt piano as kids on an acoustic piano and played since then, to buy a grand and move it around with you as they move for work
