Electro 6hp vs stage 2 ex hp 76 keybeds
Hi y'all! I've been saving for a nord and in the used market I can get for the same price the two mentioned above or a stage 2 ha 76. The most important thing for me is the keybed (and also the sounds). Do the electro 6hp and ex hp76 have the same keybed? is the stage 2 ex better as an all around? does the ha 76 have the best keybed out of them all? I don't know!!

Hello and welcome to NUF!
The NE 73HP and MnS2 EX HP76 share the same keybed the (controversial) Fatar TP100, but NS2 EX has also the aftertouch strip
NS2 HA76 instead has the arguably better TP40 (but weighs 4Kg more and has half piano memory than NS2EX);
personally, if you are OK with the added weight and less memory, I'd go for NS2 HA76.

I have a Stage 4, which is about the weight of a Stage 2. If you want to go out gigging, this board is heavy (many other grands are too). Just be prepared to lift it. The Nord Case, by itself, is quite a weight too and getting teh Stage into the case is a battle on a floor.

Re: Electro 6hp vs stage 2 ex hp 76 keybeds
Maxpiano covered the actions well. As for whether the stage 2 (either version) is better overall than the the Electro 6, each have some advantages over the other. See viewtopic.php?t=22581
