Nord Grand 2 $1000 off on Sweetwater!

Just thought I’d share this news. Anyone picked one up yet? How does it compare to other keyboards in its price range? I am debating getting this over the MP11SE.

And I'm considering trading my MP11SE for the Grand 2. As background, i started with a Nord Piano 2 and eventually upgraded it to a Stage 3 88 and then sold it for the MP11SE because neither had either the feel nor pedal action that the MP11SE has. My personal test is Moonlight Sonata 1st movement which is mostly played soft, except for the crescendo in the middle. With the discount, it's cheaper to buy a Grand 2 than a Piano 6 through the end of the month at Sweetwater. i miss the Nord Sound Library and I've never particularly liked the Kawai sounds. You can use the MP11SE as a controller but it's suboptimal for that.

What I want of course is a Steinway Grand but that would require moving. ;-(
