Right, the adorama one is a better deal in terms of $. The BH one is more like a "luxury" deal. You get the KPD-70 3-Pedal($129 compared to $60 DP-10), Roland KSC-70 White Furniture Style Stand($149) and a Auray white bench($45) which just hits my sweet spot. If you just purchase everything seperately the total value is around $1072(749+129+149+45), the saving here is really the 10% rewards.


the $59 Shure SRH240A is worth $0 to me, if you value it the total is $1131. Also the typical price for FP-30X is $799, $749 is the on sale price.

Also, quoting from our beloved xtp

The drawback to a furniture style piano is you can not get it to the absolute perfect height for your usage, whereas with a slab style piano, you can use an adjustable z-stand and get it exactly right. There is a limit to what an adjustable piano bench will do, it works fine, but is less versatile.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank xtp

So if you want the furniture stand, this is an OK deal. I am not a huge fan of furniture stands because they're not height adjustable, but I can see how it'd be important to the decoratively conscious folks. That bench is OK, but you absolutely have to get an adjustable one, it's non negotiable. The odds that that bench will fit you exactly is extremely low.

I'd whole heartedly recommend the Korg LP380 for $800 over this, if you want furniture stand. They both use Steinway sounds as base.

Please recognize that the furniture stands are extremely over priced for what they are. They do this on purpose to nickle and dime you.

The adorama deal has more versatility, but the $60 z-stand from amazon is way better than any x-stand, so you'd want to get that anyway even if you get the bundle. I recommend the Adorama deal over the BH in terms of "Slickness".

Keep in mind the adorama bundle doesn't come with the Official roland pedal (DP-10) which supports half damper, it only comes with the generic on/off type pedal, it is metal though. Not a huge problem, but just know that they're different. For Pianoteq peeps, you'll definitely want the roland's half damper pedal.

The FP30x pha4 action is among the heavier actions. This piano does drop fast notes on trills, but this is not a huge problem except for late advanced users. It doesn't drop the input, the engine is just weird, so if you hooked it up to pianoteq, you'll get proper behavior on midi out.

For people looking for lighter action + furniture stand, wait for the kawai KDP75 to come back to $750, maybe even lower who knows. Or possibly they might do something on KDP120.

For whoever is interested, looks like they are currently running a sale for KDP75($1000 + $300 B&H GC)/KDP120(1500$ + $500 B&H GC), depending on how you value the GC this may or may not be deal.
