A good digital or a good upright

[chillout]

Hi,
Would a good digital like a Roland Hp107 or Yamaha Clp 270 hold up in comparison to a good upright?

If not how much would the accoustic cost in terms of £££s.You can buy the Roland 107 for around £2000.

Search through some of the relatively recent digital threads.

Different advantages / disadvantages for each.

You'll get a well maintained upright for 2k, [new or 2nd hand]

But you don't need to spend 2k to get a decent digital or, put another way, I'd struggle to be convinced that any of the features, the action or the sound on a 2k+ digital piano are going to make it any closer to a real acoustic than a 1k one.

One possible exception perhaps, the grandtouch and similar with real acoustic actions, but unless you want earphones, I'd probably get the rest of the instrument as a real acoustic too.

So I'd say, spend 2k on an upright, if the disadvantages don't matter - but if you go for a digital, spend 1k and put the rest towards a real grand or lessons. Check out the Gem RP800 as well as the yamaha / roland too.
