I have a NP4 88 for sale, and am currently playing the NP5.
The NP4 was great in its time, but the NP5 was a nice upgrade for me. Dual piano engines, better action, nicer FX, etc. The "sound" is subjectively a notch better, probably due to upgraded DACs. Coming off of your CP40, the NP4 will seem like an upgrade, but the NP5 will seem like more of an upgrade.

This is all great stuff and I want to thank everyone for their input. I think I'm going to go with a new NP5, based on your recommendations and other demo resources I found on YouTube. One thing I'm already liking is the community around Nord, something sorely missing in the Yamaha realm (or maybe so well hidden I just couldn't find it.)
Thank you all!

Great call! I think you will get many years of satisfaction and inspiration from the NP5. This community is exceptional.
