I'm a little surprised they are getting into that arena. Plenty of midi controllers out there but I'm sure Kawai's action is good !
Depressing the pedal on an out of tune acoustic piano and playing does not result in tonal color control or add interest, it's called obnoxious.

There are plenty of midi controllers out there but very few or none with a piano style action of this caliber.  I think this will make some people very happy.  But I also think it is a niche market compared to the cheaper junk or a standard digital piano.  There is a thought that this thing will cost nearly as much to build and ship as an MP10 but won't demand nearly the same price.
