John,

I don't have the P85 here to do a side by side comparison, but I would say they feel very much the same and might even have the same action.

The NP30 didn't suit me at all...it has it's target market, but I ain't among them.

I could get along with 76 weighted hammer action, but the semi-weighted feels totally unnatural for piano

One of my clients, who used to play piano for Glen Campbell, just bought a P85 and he absolutely loves it, especially for the action.

If you don't need controller functions like pitch and mod wheels, the P85 is probably more suitable(and a bit lighter)...plus it can be used as a stand alone piano (it has speakers).
