If people are not comfortable with heavier touches they can always look at the synths Nord makes, which are also great and would still have the piano bank.
Make sense! I own a grand 2 which is supposed to be "Nord best" grand piano clone with the new kawai keybed action. To my opinion, it is still too light for being a good substitute instrument for practicing your piano technic. It offers an easy and enjoyable feeling for LIVE playing but it will not train your fingers for playing on a real acoustic piano. Otherwise, it is a great instrument for stage live playing.
Which is in line with it being a "stage" piano, not a "student" one, in general it is hard to find a digital piano that is good for practicing like an acoustic one, unless you go for models with an advanced real-piano-like keybed (like Kawai VPC1 or MP11 or high level home digital pianos), but the weight rises a lot and make them less portable (so not really "stage ready" unless you have a service helping you).

you clearly have not played on many acoustic pianos. Some have heavy actions (Steinway), some are medium (Yamaha), some are light (Knabe comes to mind).

Make the resonance adjustable on Piano 6. Huge oversight for an instrument listed as a PIANO
