When will there be an 88-key or 73/76-key version?

For 300$, I could never justify buying this "toy" piano. However, it's enticing.

It's actually playable, and sounds good. For the next PianoWorld recital I plan to play the opening section of Pathetique Movement 2 on it ala Schroeder and transition the video to the acoustic.

I had a 49 key midi controller for trips but it's always an octave short for any section so I got this. Mostly to learn some fingering runs and experiment with some jazz improv in a 2 week trip coming up. (air travel- unscrew the wood mini grand lid and leave that at home and pack the micropiano in the suitcase, 32 inch suitcase)

It has actually helped some of my fingering on pathetique mvmnt 1 as it requires precise dynamic and finger control not to slam the notes. A slight 30 minute adjustment when I first got it but now the fingers adjust automatically. No I am not under the illusion that spending to much time on this would make me a better pianist!

I would rather have a Vax77 but can't spend 3k.

What is the octave span on the microPIANO?

On a grand piano, the octave span is about 6.5 inches measured between centres of naturals. I would expect the octave span on the microPIANO to be nearly 1 inch shorter, anyone can confirm?
