Dear ALL! Thank you so much for your suggestions! Initially, my preference was for CP4 (based on the touch feeling), but wasn't sure if I would miss a lot of sound opportunities by not taking Roland. I also noted some other great instruments suggested- Kurzweil, Korg, Nord. Unfortunately, these brands are not available here. Even Yamaha and Roland have a waiting period to be delivered, especially newer models. I think, it's due to lack of demand. As a rule, in UAE gigging musicians bringing the instruments from their home countries... So, I think, I'm going for CP4. I'll keep you updated once I have it! Thank you once again!

Thanks a lot Aidan! That really helps! And you are right, for me the piano sound is priority. I tried both CP4 and Roland700 and piano sounds of both are just fine (in CP4 a bit metallic in the lower keys). As a rule, I perform at the venues, were there is always a grand piano, I usually do not bring my instrument along- so, the weight wouldn't be important to me. So, in terms of realism of the sound of acoustic instruments CP4 and Roland are equal? Is there any program existing, which could help one to improve the realism of the sound of recorded instrumental track? (Sorry, I'm a girl with classical background and absolutely incompetent in this field :-)

Gentlemen, I need your professional advice! I'm a classical pianist in Dubai. I also write music and about to buy a digital piano to record piano compositions with instrumental arrangement. So, if you would have to choose between Yamaha CP4 and Roland 700NX in terms of the most natural/realistic sounds of classical instruments (piano, strings, flute etc), which one you prefer? I'm quite desperate, as the guys in the showroom here have no clue about the products they sell... Thanks a lot and absolutely appreciate any suggestions!
