which NS2? 73, 76, or 88 keys. The 73 keybed is different to the other two.

The NS2 88 has a weighted hammer action keyboard, Fatar TP/40M
The 73 is semi-weighted watefall, I think it is a Fatar TP/8O

I think the 76 is the same as the 88, but somebody will correct me if I am wrong.
No I do not hear any clicks with the 88.

the 76 and 88 key actions are essentially identical except for the number of keys. They are a top-quality fully-weighted piano-type action. The HP action is intended to be a compromise -- in return for getting an exceptionally lightweight piano-style action, some degree of quality is sacrificed.

Yes, the 73 is TP/8O, semi-weighted organ-type waterfall action (and my personal favorite).
