Finally sold the Roland RD-700SX, in order to get the CP33, and had some extra cash leftover. Some would consider it slumming, downgrading from the Roland, but I was never thrilled with it. If anything, it had too many bells, whistles, features, etc., that I frankly never used. All those extras I have on the XP-30 if I need them. The Roland pianos, while nice, always seemed "processed," or dripping with effects. You could turn them off or down, but then they sounded too vanilla, if that makes sense.

Simply wanted a basic, good, stage slab, pretty much exclusively for piano. The primary default piano sounds great as is, and while tweak-able, I haven't futzed with it (yet). I may layer some of the sounds from the XP-30 in the future, but so far haven't felt the need to do so. For non-piano sounds, I use the XP-30.

Purchased "blind," untested, as being an older model, no one stocks it, and there's no local Yamaha brick-and-mortar shop within a two-hour drive. I'd tried the P200 / P250 in the past, so I knew about the basic Yamaha sound and keyboard feel. I even like the heavier action.

Used research primarily from here as background, YouTube videos, other online sources. Rolled the dice, and very pleased / relieved with the purchase.

Now, I just need to woodshed, and get my chops back.

Flawless transaction with Sweetwater. Highly recommended. Thanks, Ryan Holquist!

Not too sure if this was a "good" price as the piano is so new. It was showing an MSRP of $3895. They were wanting to sell us a "3 month old" showroom model CA-63 for $2400 out the door vs. $3000 + TAX + Delivery for the brand new CA-65 yet to be delivered (arrived in California last Friday, available for immediate 2 week shipping to other states). I talked them into a brand new Rosewood CA-65 for $2995 including tax and delivery (about $2750 for the piano before tax etc.) I am sure this piano will fall into that $2600-2800 common price range, but being literally brand new I think I might have paid a bit more for it, but the new feel system and new voices etc. are worth it to me. Delivery in 2 1/2 weeks.

I was nervous at first because of the glass tube. Since I use it mainly in my recording studio, I haven't had to worry about banging it around on stage. The tube, despite some online criticism, is not a gimmick. It's an actual amplifier for the organ and electric piano circuits. There's been some ongoing debate about tube vs solid state amplification. Yes, guitar amps do sound better with tubes, but so do keyboard amps. Wurlitzer pianos and the Hammond B3 were traditionally amplified by tube circuits, hence the vintage moniker.

I started looking for a digital piano a few months ago. The CA63 was most impressive of those that I could try (and were within my budget), but it had a couple of niggling issues that bugged me so I decided to wait a couple of months to see what developed. The CA65 fixes the annoyances I had with the earlier model (mainly to do with the action), the other upgrades are nice, and I'm looking forward to mine being delivered tomorrow.

I have never heard of Yamaha P35?
I know Yamaha P70 as the oldest model of P series.
As Yamaha P series that ends with number "5" I know P85, P95, and P155.
Most of normal Yamaha P series, the last digit generally is zero such as P70, P80, P120.
Yamaha P series with 5 as the last digit are generally odd models, issued after the model with zero of bigger number. For example P85 was issued after P120.

2nd 40th birthday gift to self. Key touch is nice. Seems to be many editing options.

The P-35 and P-105 are new models for 2012 to replace the P-95. P-105 gets better sound generation and speakers but loses MIDI connectors in favour of USB. The smaller number is presumably to indicate its position as the cheapest in the current lineup.

*Roland RP-301R

Yes, as I would have done exactly the same thing (in exchanging the Casio AP-650 for the Roland) as the short decay and overall harmonic resonance is simply not sufficient. There are many other digitals that can give you far better performance.
