I've played the piano all my life and to me this thing feels great! The action is inspiring, like a real instrument. I've recorded a few tracks on it already and the dynamics are exactly the way I would want them to be. The build quality is great, keys faders and knobs feel good, but be warned, this thing is huge and weighs quite a lot compared to normal keyboards (without hammers).

If you plan to move this thing a lot, that might be a problem. The casing is also quite tall, compared to a normal keyboard, which is very noticeable if you set it up on your desk. Doesn't bother me though. The hammers are absolutely worth it. Playing with expression works great, it picks up on all the nuances as it should.
