I know the technical differences between the two and if it weren't for the organ module in the electro, I'd pick up the Nord Piano 5 73 without any problems.

My question is the following, are Nord Piano keys so superior? Despite being HP, I've seen a lot of people saying that there is a difference (some people even say that the Nord Piano 5 is HA) I've seen a lot of people complaining about the HP on the Stage, would they be exactly the same keys?

The Nord Piano 5 73 keys are the same as the 88, correct?

Note 1: Despite not being an organ keyboard, I think the possibility of being able to increase some timbres is sensational (Something that is much better on Electro)

Note 2: I believe that the new library will only be applied to Stage 4 and Piano 5, which weighs on the decision too.

I've had an HP action for a short while in an Electro 3 and got rid of it fairly quickly. I did not get along well with the HP action, neither for piano playing nor for organ. (I also felt that the action loosened up significantly after a few months of playing.)

If you would like to go for an Electro (and are using the organ) I'd definitely recommend the waterfall action, not the HP action. With some skill and adaptation you can also play the piano sounds quite sensibly. It is very different from a (real) piano action though. If, on the other hand, you *want* a more pianistic action (and do not need the organ capabilities of an Electro or Stage) go for the Nord Piano 5. Not for the Electro with an HP action.

Note: I don't want to use the timbre in isolation. I want to use the timbre as a layer for another one.

I will not play the organ solo.

I'm going to use the organ as a secondary timbre, but I like the weight that the simulator brings.

If I choose Nord Piano 5, I'll sample the organ's tone for layering.

The difference is that in electro the timbre will be more faithful.
