The Roland is really basic and entry level while the Casio is a bit above that.
The Roland has bluetooth, Casio does not.
Roland uses stretch tuning and some people myself included do not like the way that sounds.
Casio has 16 temperaments you can use besides equal temperament.
The Roland is limited to one pedal only while Casio has 3 and I think it has half pedaling.
With the Casio you get a lid to go over the keys, Roland does not have a lid.
This Casio is reported to have issues with damage to the stand.
If you can pick up the Roland at Costco you can avoid the risks of having damage in shipping.
Sound wise Roland is known for brighter or brassier sounds. Casio arguably has nicer sounds but maybe it comes down to personal preference.
Casio probably has much better sympathetic resonance and pedal effects.
Roland will have a heavier action and some think it feels closer to a real acoustic piano while others say it is weighted too heavy.
Casio has textured keys to reduce slippage. Not sure about the Roland. Some people think Casio's texturing is too much.
Keys can malfunction over time with any brand but Roland seems to be a bit more known for that.
Speaker power is about the same between them but this really doesn't make much difference between various digital pianos.
I am not sure off the top of my head how they compare with line outs, but the lack of bluetooth on Casio is a deciding factor for some people.
Maintenance fee ain't cheap. Only professionals buy that and only if they are wealthy. Those pianos come in $10-$20G.
If u don't get it properly maintained it's even worse out of condition and out of tune. Digital piano saved the industry.
No this is definitely not overkill. It's better to have a good quality instrument early on to help form a good technique. Only a few brands really produce quality digital pianos that are good for learning to play classical music. Mainly Yamaha, Kawai, Casio, Roland, Korg. These brands will also hold their resale value better if things change down the road. You also will want something with a good quality key action and graded hammer action. A Casio like this is a good choice for a child learning piano, or any Yamaha with GHS. Roland is less ideal for a child because the action is heavier.

Can anyone speak on how this compares to the Costco Roland fp10
Pretty similar overall. This has 128 note polyphony vs 96 on the FP10. We picked up the privia px-s1000 2 years ago because it looked cleaner and the key stroke and materials feel amazing. Never played them side by side but I feel like the look and feel of the privia is better than the Roland. Lots of personal preference there though.
