Thanks very much Dennis...as comprehensive a report as one could hope for.

Most low end digital pianos suffer in the mid-range...I was surprised the inexpensive Yamaha P-85 wasn't too bad in the middle...of course, it has none of the extra features of the Privia, and that's where the latter will score a lot of points.

That's a great idea, putting the accompaniment out through the Motif...so the Privia must have dedicated midi ports...oui?

I'll have to try the keybed out...the P-85's was a bit on the light side, but I liked it that way...older fingers, plus, it worked well with sounds other than piano.

Screen printing? That's the lettering around the buttons and sliders, eh. Never had to worry about that on the P-85 with so few buttons.

I like a long decay on piano sounds (the CP-300 I had here was really nice for that) and the short decay may be a deal breaker, although I'll have to try the action triggering the S910's piano first...I could also send out the Casio's accompaniment to the S910....maybe; if I can get the midi channels lined up.

Thanks again for your candid review...they're the best kind.
