Rick,
in 2003 Yamaha marketed DGX-500 as a replacement for a home piano (provided it didn't have hammer keys). As I am sure you know, this was a marketing trick because the semi-weighted keys did not provide the feeling of a piano. There was a long debate over this.

3 years later they came up with a product that may really serve as a home piano -the YPG625. It's possible that in another 3 years they'll come up with a truly portable digital piano with GH.

I am sure the 625 is a killer keyboard. The only thing I don't like about it is that the voice set is 99% the same as that on my keyboard. I hoped for more new voices. Maybe in another 2 years... who knows.

Of course, the main trouble with transporting such big keyboard is its size not weight. I am sure you'll find a way. Maybe you could use a double braced stand Squeak mentioned about.

Regards,
George
