As for ES110 vs FP10/30, you'll have to go play them at the store to make that decision. ES110 is much easier to play due to the lighter action. The FP10/30 has a heavier action and feels more substantial under the hands, but this may work against you in fast piano passages.

I would say the action on the Roland is more durable than the B2, but if you're careful and there are no children, it shouldn't make much of a difference.
B2 is softer and easier to play as well, more suitable for new enthusiasts.

You mention no children. I have a 5 year old that wants to learn piano so I've been looking around this week. Is this FP10 bundle bad for a beginning child? Do you have other recommendations?
Thanks!

But, for the most part, it's not a good idea to give a new player a heavy action like the PHA4, in the FP10/FP30/ Roland mid-range.
It's not a muscle building situation where more weights make you stronger. In the case of piano, you want an action that is suitable for the energy output of the player. He won't actually be strong until well into the teens. Piano is like lifting small amounts of weight thousands of times per session. Even the difference of 10 grams per keys can be a huge difference.
A previous poster mentioned the Kawai ES110, their RHC action is very swift and light, a bit on the bouncy side, but that's not a big problem. I'd recommend going this route for very young enthusiasts. The key shape is also important for smaller hands beginning piano, the edges on the kawai are more rounded and less sharp like on the PHA4 Rolands.
The B2 will work fine as well. You shouldn't have any trouble with the B2, but the design of the action along with the yamaha p45/125 are both less durable than the joints used in the FP10/ ES110. As long as your kiddo mozart doesn't go ape on the keys, there shouldn't be any problems.
