the accustic sounds still better... but the roland for its half price sounds really good. I guess the situation is the choice maker: If you have the big room which is necessary for an acustic grand piano, and want to spend to tune it min once a year better twice for about $250.- every time and don't need any midi or such then take a acustic piano. But If you don't have a really good room, you play at night in a rented appartment with neibours, want to spend half of price, never need a tuning, wants to connect to midi and so.. take a electronic grand piano or even smaller... there is no right or false.. the situation makes your decision... At the moment I play on a BOSTON GP218 which sounds great but sometimes I loved to have a electronic piano as well...

Why not just buy the real one
