sort of OT: digital piano question

[Andrew and Rebeca Anderson]

I've found that the Roland with "after-touch" has piano-like response 
and sensitivity that leaves Yamaha in the dust.  Price is similar.


RD-700GX: Digital Stage Piano.  This model features Roland's copy of 
the real piano's escapement (after-touch) feel.  These Epianos are 
capable of nuances and subtle shading that others lacking this 
feature cannot match.  The key-weight is still too low for my taste 
but that seems to be the fare for the course.
