..but with better less clanky fatar action and much cheaper please.
Body weight is not a big problem, also 73-76 keys preferred if possible. Any suggestion?

aimed to playing the piano 75% of the time plus vintage sampled synths, organs, action similar to a weighted piano but would be happy if it was a little lighter too. split a must.

Please let me know your thoughts

The HP action is made by Fatar - it's called TP100. Other instruments using this action are made by Studiologic, Kurzweil and Arturia. I'm not familiar with Studio logic products, but here are the products that I'm aware have the TP100:

Kurzweil Artis, Artis SE, Forte SE, SP4-8
Arturia Keylab 88 (This is a controller only, and the action includes aftertouch)
Studiologic Numa Stage, SL88 Studio (controller only), Acuna (controller only)

I've only played the Kurzweil SP4-8, and was really impressed with the feel, response and finger-to-sound connection.

Defense of the Electro, I own an Electro 3HP which had developed the clacking. I did a thorough re-lubrication about a year ago, and it's been great ever since. I recently played an Electro 5HP in a store, and was amazed on how smooth playing it was. Have you played a 5HP?

Sorry I was referring to full weighted keyboards WITHOUT the TP100 keybed, quite the opposite eheheh.
I didn't mean to dismiss the 5HP action, but you're probably in such case paying more for transportability which I wouldn't necessarily need.

yes very briefly, i liked it OK, i may be wrong but i'm not sure the action was good enough to provide enough sensitivity when playing classical.
mind me I'm no concert pianist and am willing to compromise.
what are your thoughts on it?
i actually just purchased the ne5d73 but due to change of circumstances I'm not going to need to be mobile anymore and am selling it ( ad in the sell section ) for a more weighted and sedentary option.
