VS the CA49, Functionally they are equivalent. The 49 does have the wooden keys which gives people that warm feeling.
There is a minor subset of detractors who contest that the kawai's version of the wood action has less stability and key velocity readout uniformity, but keep in mind these are extremists and very high level players who would pick at the slightest imperfection.
Plastic actions are stable because they don't swell or twist or contract. Yamaha and Roland also has their step up actions with wood inserts, but the inserts are decorative with a plastic spine, these actions do not exhibit that minor input issue of the kawai versions where the whole lever is made of wood.
You don't have to worry about this unless you know yourself to be very next level picky.
In terms of sound, there are critiques which go around for years about yamaha being brighter than steinway/ kawai/ other brands. Pianos can be tuned bright or mellow or dark. There is no consensus within a family or brand of pianos. You just have listen to it yourself and see if you like it. Beginners will probably not mind much at all, they'll all just sound like, a piano.
Yama DGX670 and Roland FP-E50 are the main value picks in the slab formfactor, they have many more software functions for stage use, but beware a beginner probably won't use most of those functions, they are fun to play with if you like to press buttons.
Furniture pianos are part decorative. At one point you had to be a rich aristocrat to own one, and people made enormous stretches on their finances to procure a piano for their home. Around the time of Mozart, a piano cost the same as a house. Initial advancements actually made them more expensive than most houses.
