First - you have it. What’s the point of going backward? Even if you only play at home - I’ve had my Yamaha C7 only at home...

Seriously - unless you bought it on credit and don’t want to make payments, it’s hard to understand why you would downgrade. You have the Grand too - I haven’t played it yet but those who have say the keybed is MUCH better than the Fatar bed in the P3 I have.

If you really MUST downgrade, trade with me. :-)
Honestly, I agree with you. Once you’ve experienced a quality instrument, downgrading seems like a step backward—especially if it’s just sitting at home. The improvement in touch and tone with higher-end models really makes a difference, so unless there’s a financial necessity, it’s hard to justify. Your suggestion to trade is fair, though—sometimes that’s the only way to adjust without feeling like you’re losing value.

Only consider this if you can borrow the new one for at least a weekend. Most digital pianos don’t feel like an instrument to me, they feel like a keyboard. This is in terms of the sounds and the response. I have the original Nord Grand. Zero chance I’d replace it with anything else, obviously if it was stolen or something I’d get a Nord Grand 2.
