At the music store I teach at I teach on an older model Casio. To the students its OK because none of them have a great instrument at home. Recently things got moved around and I now have ( for the time being ) a Roland FP30. The students who are mostly beginners noticed the improvment immediately. Maybe the owner is putting out bait to sell more. Now the FP30 is a big jump up from the older Casio but still far behind the FP90. The point is for getting back into things your older Casio may be OK for awhile, but if you ever make the jump to the FP90 you will appreciate the BIG difference in sounds and touch. I also bet , like me, you will spending more time at the Piano again. Lots of stores do offer a return option these days but I don't think you'll use it if you buy one.
Bill,
Thanks for weighing in on the FP90 vs. the others. I was hoping you'd comment on my post. I took a trip to Guitar Center this afternoon to see what they had in stock NO FP90 which I knew because I called ahead. They did have the Rd2000. Whoa!! That's some kind of piano and great action on it. For home use I have a Clavinova CVP307 and the action on that instrument is excellent but the RD2000 was even better. Do you know whether the FP90 has the same action as the RD2000? Somewhere along the line I thought it did. While there I played some of the other pianos they had on display none came even close to the Roland action or sound . I was disappointed in the action on the lower priced Yamahas but there's a huge difference in price of the RD2000 versus the others I played.
Yes, both the rd2000 and the fp90 have the same keybed... and pretty much the same sound engine... however there are more sounds on the rd2000, with more eddit options and more dsp and offcourse more live controlls...
The fp90 has the build in speaker tough, quite wonderfull sound comming from them..
