I love my C2 and I love my NL2X - but now I also love my new KAWAI ES7 Digital Piano.
The reasons for me to to buy this instrument were:
- It is a "pure" piano (because I already have organs and synths).
- The keyboard and the (piano) sounds are excellent.
- It has built-in loudspeakers (that sound very good) - so: just sit down, press "ON" - and play.
- It is for at home (I sold my "real" piano for it).
So, my "family" is now red and black - and I love all of them!
I have a Kawai RX2 Grand, bought my grandmother a Kawai K3 Upright and have considered the Kawai VPC1 to go with my NS2. I got to say that in my opinion, Kawai's keybed action is the best out there!! Plus the sounds are not too shabby!

I have a Yamaha U-3 52 inch upright I bought in 1995 for $2000. It is the best music purchase I ever made. Sounds better than a small grand. Nothing like a real piano!!
