I don't think it's going to be crazy cheaper on BF, which is months away.
You get this thing, wait for deals on one of those powered studio monitors with sub out, then a 10-12 inch sub, you're good to go. 8 inch subs are also fine because you'll be right next to it, I still like the bigger displacements.
The achilles heel to all of these pianos is the lack of bass representation. but they work fine while you're waiting for deals on bigger speakers.
This model does not have line out, but you have the option of headphone out, which usually works ok, you just have to play with the knobs to prevent clipping. Make sure you're using pretty thick cables, the $dollar store ones are bad due to crosstalk and bad termination.

Amazon, Sweet water, Kraft music, Guitar center, etc. No sales.
Now is a good time to buy.
I don't think we will see cheaper prices on Black Friday.
Whatever markdowns retailers are planning will already have inflation, $15/hr minimum wage spreading, and supply channel constraints priced in. CPI is still going up. Some months it goes up at a faster pace than others, some months slower, some the same, but overall going up. I don't see any reason for CPI to drop in 2022 into early 2023.
The biggest factor preventing the global economy from returning back to pre-Pandemic levels of efficiency is the Russian Ukraine War.
Adorama will price match themselves within a month, no cash refund but pay the difference in credit.
If this comes with a metal frame and metal leg bench then this is a steal. That type of bench alone is worth $75-100 street price.
Most benches are cheap MDF. And the frame disintegrates after several months.
The CA series comes with a full metal frame bench with metal legs.
The higher CA models even come with an adjustable bench.

I have no rush, will be on the lookout for good speaker and woofer combo…

Primarily for a 2nd grader to practice at home after lessons.
What do people do for height adjustment.
My setup was gonna be like piano with adjustable z-stand and bench. I can return those if KDP75 with the bench works ergonomically for children?
Edit: for clarity
Was eyeing for a Kawai es110 ….I can wait for 2 months for a good deal

The knob turning kind allows very fine adjustments but it's God awful slow.
IMHO, I like the hydraulic benches. Easy quick adjustments get you to the height "range" you need.
Don't need the millimeter exactness of the knob twist kind because nobody sits at perfect posture the entire time that they are playing piano.
Edit: for clarity
With cabilet piano, can reach the sustain peddles if i adjust the chair height down. But then the piano is at almost chest level.
But if she play just 4 hours a week, by the time she is any good she probably will be tall enough.
I at Costco right now and the $699 Rolland FRP-1 cabinet is wigly and looks cheap.
This Kawai cabinet at least apears better built.
OR the es110, it might come back on sale this holiday. the slab style is easier to adjust for height.

it's important to cover the keys when not using, on an es110, you'll need to dust often and get the key cover, don't get the all over stretchy one, that thing is a pain to put on and off, just the cover for the key is enough. unless you have a cat or something, then you need to figure out your own anti-cat-pee-defense.
Tiger Moms usually put their kids in on 3-5 hours a day, most pro players have that kind of start, I'm not saying you have to do that for your kids, but when you see professionals, that's what you're listening to. ( I recommend against piano as a career ) it's a good and safe hobby.
If you can't find a stand that'll go low enough, you can always build a simple one from wood. the z stand on amazon goes as low as 56cm though, the pyle one.
