I want this and the V-Piano please!

I love playing a keyboard with built in speakers because of the vibrations you feel while playing...makes you feel in touch with the music.

This one looks pretty cool and will pobably 5K - 6K as well. edit: WRONG!!!

The V-Piano would be tons of fun to create your own sound, however.

I'd rather get the V-Piano. It's easier to lug around, thus providing the main role of a digital grand: portability. The V-Piano also seems more tweakable, while the Yamaha one puts an emphasis on the 3D reproduction of a grand from the perspective of the player. While you might find it more pleasurable to sit and play it, the rest of the audience might think otherwise. If there's any chance you're playing it in a specially-designed room / hall, it's also an equal chance you'll find an acoustic grand already there. So why bother?

Me too for sure now! $20,000.00 for the Yamaha! Ouch!
