Great, good to know, thanks.

Finally decided to buy the SP-6, and I'm very happy with it! The action is way lighter than the Roland RD 700 GX, not as light as the SP4-7 but close enough, exactly what I wanted. The sounds...Well, I'm very used to the Roland so I'm trying to duplicate them in the SP-6. It's not they're bad, not at all, they're great, but I need a little more time to get used to them. Thanks everybody again, happy as a pig in mud!!!!

I'm looking for something like my Kurzweil SP4-7 but with updated (and better) sounds, lightweight, hammer action (not as light as the SP4-7, not as hard as the Roland RD 700GX), being the most important part the acoustic piano, electric piano (especially Wurli), hammond, and strings. I don't need rhythms, nor internal speakers, nor a workstation, just a stage piano with light action. I've taken a look at the Casios (my 1st stage piano was a Privia, great piano for the price), they look great but I don't know if a touch screen is a good idea, I'll be moving it a lot from home to rehearsal and to the stage (hopefully). And the noisy action is a problem for studying at night at low volume. The Roland and the Kawai look great, but they're same or more expensive than the Kurzweil and same or more heavy too. Maybe acoustic pianos are better, but I prefer to sacrifice a little in sound in favor of weight and price. I mean, the SP-6 doesn't sound bad, right? The review from Legatoboy about the Yamaha makes clear the decision. Thanks everybody for the suggestions!

I'm almost decided to go for the Kurzweil SP-6, anyway more opinions and/or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey, that sounds great! Yes, sorry, I meant not as light (english is not my 1st language). That's right, I've been playing guitar for 40 years and there's no guitar better than the others, it is just what you're used to. Good to know!

Weighted, thanks!

Hello! First post here, long time lurker. I'm thinking of adding a new companion to my Kurzweil SP4-7 which I've had for ten years and has served me well. After a lot of reading, researching, and youtubing (is that a word?), I think the best options for me are the Kurzweil SP-6 and the Yamaha MX-88. A friend has lent me a Roland RD-700GX. Great sounds, great keyboard, but I find it a little hard to play. I don't want a keybed as soft as the SP4-7, I want to play piano but my hands tell me this Roland is too much. Problem about the Kurzweil is I've read that the keys are noisy, anybody have experience with this? Kurzweil and Yamaha are brands I trust and these two keyboards seem perfect for what I want. Thank you!
