The P5 is also lighter, which is helpful. The extra money alone is a deal breaker, since I don't have it, but paying extra for reduced functionality is also problematic.
BTW, just received a replacement P5 and the defective keybed is the same - clacking white keys all across the board. I'm taking it back for a refund, don't know what I'm going to do for a keyboard, traded in my Roland RD-800 to get the P5.
For me the most important thing is the keybed my friend.. i am very happy with the kawai keybeds.. and i am done with fatar.. everytime i see fatar i run away
