I'm already a huge fan of piano sample libraries, along with other piano world members (Eternal) - they sound just great! Once I actually invest a bit of time into setting everything up I will have the best of both worlds - really accurate sound with increased polyphony and a keyboard action that I like. It's a wonder how quickly technology changes. It was interesting because they had a used Roland that cost around $1200 and felt really synthetic in comparison. I played various other digital pianos around the store and found many that cost more felt terrible to me, a few that cost more felt better, and that nothing that cost less felt better. I'm warming up to the lighter action finally and actually like it quite a bit now, at least compared to all of the alternatives. At first I think this made me think it was really 'piano-like' but I'm not so certain now. Even more apparent after playing the Yamaha for several days. I'm loving the flute, sax and trumpet voices on the Yamaha, but I'm not sure what they sound like on the Privia, since I didn't take the time to learn how to scroll through GM voices. I really should have brought along headphones, to do a better comparison, because speakers can make such a difference in sound, but without them it was difficult for me to hear a huge difference. I tried all of the main voices on the Casio and thought that they sounded pretty comparable to the Yamaha. Bear with me as I repeat what I've been saying all along. I did this mainly because I had to know if I made the right choice between these two dps. Went back into GC one more time just to play briefly on the PX-200 (they don't have the 800 on display yet, but this keyboard has the exact same action and voices, although the 800 has better speakers.)
