I was close to buy a Roland HP-207 when the salesperson mentioned the HPi6 and HPi7. Could someone here tell me if the extra money is worth it?
Thanks!

I looked at the HPi-7S spec and it wasn't that much better than the HP207. Check for yourself. You probably have to play them to notice the difference. HPi-7S (link) HP-207e (link)

Bells and whistles, nothing else. I bought the HP-207 myself. The LCD display may have a very limited use, IMHO.If you are new to piano you will end up spending your time in front of a plain sheet of music.

If you're a beginner, the 207 might be a little like overkill, essentially a concert grand. But the HPi 6 or 7, even though more expensive, might make sense. These are apparently quite a marvel, a piano that can teach you how to play the piano, and the performance would be not much less than the 207's. If you can afford them, they could be just what you're looking for.
