Touch
Realistic touch & motion: Responsive Hammer Compact keyboard action
The KDP75's Responsive Hammer Compact (RHC) keyboard action has been developed to represent the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano. Based on the highly-regarded RH keyboard action design, its spring-less mechanism and sturdy construction delivers consistent upward and downward motion, while improved cushioning material helps to reduce keyboard noise, resulting in a smooth, natural, and highly authentic piano playing experience.
Acoustic piano key weighting
Just as acoustic pianos utilise heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers, the RHC keyboard action also employs different hammer weights, appropriately graded for each playing range.
Such details provide greater stability during fortissimo passages, while preserving delicate pianissimo control, to satisfy the demands of even the most discerning pianist.

I've only had a handful of orders with Adorama. But they did take care of me last week when UPS lost a package for a day. The package was supposed to have been overnighted before Christmas. When it didn't arrive but was marked as delivered, they filed a claim with UPS, let me order the same product with the original now inactive sale price, and overnighted the replacement the same day. In the event the original package miraculously arrived, they also promised to have the replacement returned for free despite their return policy stating that return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.
And that's exactly what happed the next day when the original package showed up. A quick call to their customer service and the replacement package, which had already been shipped, got rerouted back to them.
That's just one positive experience to balance out all the negative ones reported. Though, it was with an item that is much smaller and much less expensive at $100.

Both boxes severely damaged by UPS.
It was easy to get refunded for both.
Just refuse the package on delivery, don't sign it.
If they drop it off then don't open it.

I ended up buying the Kawai CA-49 and I love it! Key action is perfect for me.
I feel like Roland and Korg are on the heavy side.
I prefer Kawai and Yamaha.
But it's all down to personal preference.
My friend bought the Korg LP-380U and his was not damaged so he kept it. He and his wife love it. She loves the deep red color which matches their modern home decor. I think the speakers sound better than this Kawai. But, I've not played with either side by side.
Of late, we've witness alot of scientific criticism for GFC and GF actions, something about inaccurate output problems. I do not fully understand it myself, but I suspect this is something only very high level players can detect. So, if you think you're going to level up real quick, or you already know you're a god damn prodigy, sure, maybe avoid the GFC and GF. I don't think beginners should spend much more money than this $700 model though. All the gizmos I've bought off slickdeals have broken or had problems at some point, these things are not heirloom ready, so perhaps choose conservatively.
We have a baby grand back home, the Korg is heavier but I wouldn't say it feels more like the baby grand, since both feel artificial.

The 29 and above are stiffer, not alot, but as you say every bit works against you.
