So, after I did some more research i found the yamaha s-90 sx wich looks ike it would be perfect for what i want, but i have a few questions before i make the final decision: -How good is the action, with this i mean is it realistic, does it fell like a piano -How good are the sounds, i mean expecially the piano sounds, but if all the sounds are good thats even better -Would it be better for someone who is more of o piano player (eventhough i want to work with synths) to buy a digital piano (some one my other options are nord piano2, yamaha cp-5 or the roland rd-700nx) or this mix of synth and a Dp that is the yamaha s-90 xs? Thanks for your help PS: Please don't awnser "you have too try them", because i can't, i don't drive and the nearest store that as 2 of them is 500 kilometres away from my house.

i think you might consider the CP-50 if you want something that has a lot more sounds but has a good action

i think you might consider the CP-50 if you want something that has a lot more sounds but has a good action For piano sounds, the CP-50's SCM may have an edge over the S90XS, but I think all the other CP50 sounds are in the S90XS and then some (i.e. the S90XS has the complete Motif XS stock ROM soundset, the CP50 has only a portion of them). Also, for non-piano use, the S90XS has the advantages of mod wheel, aftertouch, sliders, etc. I would tend to choose the CP-50 over the S90XS if I really preferred its SCM piano/EP sounds or if I wanted something cheaper, but other than that, the S90XS looks more capable overall.

If nothing else, people tend to prefer a non-weighted action for synth playing, and of course a weighted action for piano playing.

PS: Please don't awnser "you have too try them", because i can't, i don't drive and the nearest store that as 2 of them is 500 kilometres away from my house. Obviously, no one else can tell you what you'll like. If anything was clearly best, nobody would be buying the others! But besides having different needs, we all have different tastes. If everyone agreed what was best, everyone would buy the same one, and the others wouldn't exist! In short, the info in a forum like this should help you select something that has the basic capabilities you need, and avoid anything that would be a terrible choice, but it's impossible for it to determine what your best choice would be, or even what you will really like. SInce you can't try the first, and there's no way to be sure you'll end up with what you really want, I'd suggest buying used on eBay. Then, if you decide something isn't for you and you want to try something else, you won't take as big a hit on it as you would if you bought something new.

(some one my other options are nord piano2, yamaha cp-5 or the roland rd-700nx) or this mix of synth and a Dp that is the yamaha s-90 xs? The S90XS has a heavier feeling action than the NP2, CP5, RD700NX. If you've ever played ANY dp that you've liked or disliked the action of, if you post that info, it may help people guide you toward boards with actions you're more likely to prefer.

So the action on the s-90 xs is heavier, me gusta XD. But is it in any way realistic, does it feel like a piano at all?

Compared to any unweighted action, sure.
