Re: Stage 2 vs 3 HP
The NS2 88 has a weighted hammer action keyboard, Fatar TP/40M
The 73 is semi-weighted watefall, I think it is a Fatar TP/8O
I think the 76 is the same as the 88, but somebody will correct me if I am wrong.
No I do not hear any clicks with the 88.

Re: Stage 2 vs 3 HP
the 76 and 88 key actions are essentially identical except for the number of keys. They are a top-quality fully-weighted piano-type action. The HP action is intended to be a compromise -- in return for getting an exceptionally lightweight piano-style action, some degree of quality is sacrificed.
Yes, the 73 is TP/8O, semi-weighted organ-type waterfall action (and my personal favorite).
