What if they're weapons rather than characters. GP is certainly heavier and more lethal, but could you throw one? DP (stage variety) for my money!

And you can use them to transmit electric shocks as well!

There are pro's and con's to BOTH.

Grand Piano Cons: Space, requires maintenance and some of which that costs such as tuning. If you move, it costs even more. Due to noise/loudness it can cause issues if you live in an apartment. Extreme cost disparity - $1800 digital piano compared to an $18,000 grand piano... And not everyone does, but you SHOULD care about acoustically treating the room. More $$$.

Digital Piano Cons: Drastically inferior sound, inferior action, and it doesn't make a room as beautiful like a gorgeous, shimmering black grand can. Although this isn't as long as the aforementioned list of cons, sound and action are thee most important factors of a piano. Period.

Nothing can beat the real thing, however, in a world where things must be practical, and you're not rich - a digital piano can't be beat either.

Shyyyrrryyuuuken!  ;)
