Between the two I would go for the P95. Same action and sound of an Arius with less cost. The Arius looks more like a verticle and the P95 like a stage piano. You should check out the CP50. It has far better action and sound than either of ones you mentioned. The CP50 also looks like a stage piano but cost even a bit more than an Arius.
Musically, Jimbo

Well it all depends. The p95 has graded hammer standard action. It's yama bottom line action. The ydp 161 and 181 have graded hammer action. Supposedly it's to play notes faster repeatedly.
They also hold 128 notes before the piano lets a note go. The p95 holds 64 notes.
Id say the best of the ydp line is the 181, if yamaha didn't go so damn cheap throwing on the standard keyboard as well as skimp on poly and a couple other things it would definitely be the best. But they tried to make a cheap cvp to cheap.
Keyboard wise, if you wanted to compare to the ydp's id go with the p155. It's got the same action as the ydp (GH) it's got the same poly even has 4 lv stereo sampling. Just plug that puppy into a couple of nice speakers and your good to do.
Only question is do you want a piano console where it looks nice, has the pedals all their and you sit down and play.
Or are ya gonna sling the piano under ur arm and walk away with it? well and the speakers, and foot pedal.

I want to say this.
The P95 is for sure the choice. In my opinion it's the best for the price. But if your budget can do it, the CP5 would absolutely amaze you....

The YDP-140 and -141 have the GHS keyboard. So does the P-95. Stay away from those. The keyboard action is terrible. You'll be very disappointed.
The YDP-160 and -161 and the P-155 have the MUCH better GH keyboard.
The CP-300 and CP-33 keyboard have the GHE keyboard, which seems to be the same as the GH.
