(need help) Suggestion for a good digital piano

[zingsi]

I am considering buying a digital piano. I have an upright acoustic piano already. I have passed grade 7 and my target is grade 8 exam. I prefer to buy a new digital piano as I moved to a small flat recently, so that it won't occupy much space, and that I can practice at night.

Here is my requirement:

- I mostly care about the action and key weight, it must be very close to a good acoustic piano. I need to be easy to transfer my techniques to the real piano.

- Another thing I care is the depth of the piano. I prefered its depth to be as small as possible. I don't mind the height and the width of the piano, as soon as it has 88 key notes.

- Good sound (upright piano sound is alright, grand piano sound is a plus, but not a must)

- I play classical music only, other features like mixing, synthesis or other digital recording features are not essential.

- no need to be portable, I can put it permanently at one place.

- Most of the time, I will be using headphones, so built-in speakers are not essential.

- It is mainly used for practice in weekdays night. I will get back to my acoustic piano during weekends.

- Price is not a critical concern, although I prefer under US$6000.


Would anyone please kindly suggest me some models?

Thank you so much! I really need your help!
