I played(rather attempted to play) a Yamaha CVP 701 at our local music store. The piano had a very nice action, but from what I could tell, didn't have much more electronics built into it than a DGX 650 that I also played at roughly 1/6 the cost of the CVP.
The screen on the CVP was tiny.
Playing the CVP was, for me, a bit like playing the DGX 650 in a real nice wooden case..??
I'm probably not the best to evaluate as I really don't know pianos...but still.

The CVP 701 can be compared soundwise with the Yamaha PSR-S950 with the piano and epiano sounds of the CP4 topmodel added and a very fine keybed..
The DGX 650 can be compared with a Yamaha PSR-E series with some 10 year old piano samples and a low quallity keybed build in..
You cant compare this high quallity instrument with the DGX650

Can't speak for the CVP 701, I did see and hear live Peter Bartmaans play the CVP 709 and it's a fantastic instrument. I have a CVP 307 at home, I once owned a DGX650 and there's no comparison the CVP307 is many miles ahead of the DGX650 including a graded hammer action, that's in the CVP307

And i think the 701 is about a decade more advanced then the 307, tough they might actually have the same GH3 keybed...
