Yamaha has always modeled their piano sounds on their acoustic pianos, and the list of Yamaha piano artists/endorsers is legendary.

Roland models it's pianos on other brands, probably Steinway, and some Yamaha (CP70) as Roland does not make acoustic pianos....mmmmm?

Some like the Yamaha sound, some like the Steinway(or whatever Roland samples).

Choice is good.

I played the E60 and found it was lacking harmonics in the middle octave... a tad disappointing....and the action was very poor for a 76'er...should have used the G70's keybed.

The P85 piano is nice...I bought it for the action, not the sound (which is pretty decent)...it's an inexpensive unit, but it has a weighted graded hammer keybed that is excellent.

Yamaha does hammer actions real well, because of their long experience (over 100 years) with acoustic pianos.

Regarding the T2 piano...you hear resonance...I hear presence...I like presence.
