He isn't joking. And I think he's absolutely right.

Me too. V piano's a fun idea and for a modeled piano it's an impressive implementation but it doesn't sound as natural/realistic as the RD to me. Of course, I've only listened to recordings, never played it.

I don't agree that the RD is as good as it can be, but it's pretty good for a hardware piano.

It would help if they fixed the Concert Grand sound (as it's generally much richer than the Studio Grand sound, the bass register is amazing). And made it less of a health risk to carry by yourself, of course.

It is richer. That's why that A/Ab (+5 & 6th above middle C) metallic clank/buzz noise bugs the heck out of me. If I want to get a 700NX, it would be for the fuller, richer Concert Grand, not the Studio Grand, which doesn't have the *clank*.

Hopefully in the fall they'll update and fix that. In spite of the weight I would buy one if they did. It's a really nice sound for a dp.
