We replaced the piano in out church and ended up with a Yamaha Clavinova for half the price of an acoustic piano. The Clavinova's key action (and sound) are very like a good acoustic piano IMO. But the thing that really sold us on the digital piano was maintenance. Our church isn't climate-controlled most of the time (60-80 degree range) and that was hard on the acoustic pianos.

While I could purchase an acoustic piano at this point, I would rather invest in a decent digital piano that has good action first. Once I start to become proficient and am sure I want to continue on, I'll be better suited to find a good acoustic piano that I would expect to spend a fair amount on and keep for some time. I see a lot of Yamaha DPs on CL in the $300-$700 range, but it's almost like trying to buy a DVD player - they all do the same thing, but what makes one better than the others? I want something that will provide action similar to an acoustic piano, and 88 keys. As for all the MIDI and synth stuff, I don't care. Anyone on the list a keyboard player who might want to weigh in on this?
