Is the Yamaha Avant Grand available?

Looks like yamaha have decided to remake the old Grantouch pianos concept, real wood action keyboard digital hybrid. I'm sure the keyboard is going to be fantastic and I look forward to trying one of these out.

Was the You Tube demo lousy?
Or was the Avant Grand lousy?

Yes, this looks absolutely gorgeous - I can't wait to see it 'in the flesh' as it were.
