Chopin preferred upright?

I read somewhere that Chopin preferred to play on an upright piano as opposed to a grand. Does anyone have any clue as to why?

Maybe you could tell us where you read it? 

That sounds very interesting.

Gordon Stevens, a music critic made the claim. He never elaborated just that Chopin preferred the upright.

If memory serves, Chopin played on an upright so his student could use the grand.

I also think that was the situation.
