My most important requierments from a digital piano are: 1. Piano Sound 2. Most realistic keys 3. Endurance I DONT CARE ABOUT ANY OTHER FEATURES (WEIGHT, SOUNDS ETC.) The roland is a bit cheaper but the yamaha has more polyphony PLZ help me choose

Buy the one which one you like the most, or feel most comfortable with. BTW, now there is Roland RP-401.
In case of Roland, due to their sound engine, polyphony doesn't matter so you can delete this from your list.

Also, if you're considering the Yamaha P255, you may also wish to check-out the competing Roland FP-50/FP-80 and Kawai ES7.
I believe it's important to compare like for like. The Roland RP-401 is a console-type digital piano, while the Yamaha P255 is a slab-type portable piano. Which form factor is most suitable for your needs?
Kind regards, James x

Kind regards, James x i dont care if its a stage piano or a console like piano... the rp 401 is out of my budget unless ill wait a few more months which in that case i think ill go with a Roland RD300NX (good choice?)

The p255 is only GB£100 less than the Kawai MP7 if you are considering stage pianos. Just saying. C

Col. B. The MP7 does not have speakers built in, so the OP would have to purchase a good set of monitors (or something to produced the sound). This would be an additional expense likely to put the MP7 out of their price range. Also, in the states, the price difference between the two boards is significantly higher. Not sure where the OP lives but they might find the MP7 well outside their price range.
In any case, given the OP's stated needs/preferences, I would also be inclined to go with the Yamaha P255. Though ideally they should play test both instruments before making a decision. I would also check out the Kawai ES100 which might also tick off all their needs and be a bit less expensive (at least here in the states).
