I find the keybed (feel of the keys) of the Juno DS-88 "mushy" -- not sure how to say that in Spanish, but the Juno has an earlier version of the Roland keybed, and not the PHA4 (progressively weighted, hammer-action, graded, with escapement) like the RD-88. There are some neat features of the DS-88 that I was really interested in, and I've tried one out in the store but after 1/2 an hour of playing it, I didn't like it. I also play Hammond organ and synth, so since i wanted a "piano" type action -- I've kept my RD-88.

I would consider the RD-88 better for piano players and the DS-88 better for synth players who also want a weighted/hammer action (but not a "great" one for piano, but it's OK).

If you do a Google search on "Roland RD-88 versus DS-88" you should find some other info and opinions.

Good luck! Buena suerte!

muchas gracias por tu opinión la verdad busco una tecla tipo piano más real con sonidos de piano acústico bastante buenos y creo que el RD88 sería ideal para lo que estoy buscando
