It gets even better if you start researching its midi capabilities and plan to hook it up to a computer and use piano plugins. Which will sound light years better than the onboard sounds. This has 3 step sensors instead of 2 that comes on almost every other piano under $1000. The midi curves are also much more updated in comparison to say the p45. Pianoteq Stage is now on the iPad now so you necessarily don't even need a computer anymore. Quite the combo for the price. The sound would rival or beat digital pianos even in the $5000 range.
It is quite difficult to push down the keys for beginners in comparison to other budget pianos. But that just means it's more like a real grand piano and will likely give you better touch control in the long run. It did for me. In the roland app you can change the sensitivity to light or super light which helps.
If you can get out and try a few at the store, that's best.
I personally like the 380 a bit more, since it's got the key cover.
You'll need too get the upgraded metal pedal for this separately, the aftermarket ones do not have half pedaling, but you don't really need that for digital pianos, but if you want the function the official roland pedal is available but pretty expensive.
Both the lp380 and this roland fp10 piano use Steinway samples as the base sound.

Actually bought the s3000 after watching the review.
I don't think the difference can be perceived by anyone but a professional pianist. and i was specifically looking for the difference.
the issues is (and i am an amateur so keep that in mind), the keys are levers, so the weight of the key depend on where you press it. i argue that with my very amateurish finger, playing sharps vs flats on different part of the key matters more than the key weight itself.
