Same price in store if you have a vehicle to transport it, so you can save on shipping. I was able to fit it in a CRV.
Note to self: check Facebook marketplace three to four months after new years for a Roland piano.
How dare you – I am without a doubt going to commit the consistent time and effort required to progress from a beginner, to intermediate, to advanced pianist, and will in no way fall off after two weeks when I get tired of feeling like I'm not getting anywhere and look at the digital piano in my living room with resentment every time someone comes over and says "You never told me you played piano! Play me something!"

I got this when it was 549. Is a great piano. However after played for a week or so. It started to have delay -- means play the keys, no sound for half of a second then all played out.
This could be an isolated issue. I think is the delay in the processor, not keys connector issue. Could be caused by the Bluetooth connection. Don't know. Can't really find anything on the Internet.

Returned to Costco. The package is rather compact. Fits in my SUV just fine.
If you're listening to any piano via bluetooth, there will be latencies. You can always double check by playing through the speakers or to wired headphones. But in general Bluetooth is useful for sending music TO the piano (to play along with) but less so the other way.

I was able to try out a floor model they had set up in the store and I was disappointed with the feel of the key action, caveat emptor
Agreed. I normally really like Roland, especially at this price-point, so I was surprised that this one was only okay (not terrible but not great). I'd either get this one used and cheaper or spend more for a better quality Roland (frankly, sans accessories, you could get a comparable or slightly more expensive Roland that will sound great - source: I'm in the music shop near my house very, very often and can't help testing the pianos)

Mine did the same, it's the Bluetooth connection. Turn it off and it's fine. Weird but true.

Check local stores, I found this marked down to $399.99. The price tag was $699, marked down to $599, crossed out to $499, which was also finally crossed out to $399. Seemed like they may be desperate to clear inventory, or perhaps this was for the display model. I wasn't really interested enough to ask.

Id pass on this. Not great. Much better buying something used for $500 and or putting in a couple more hundred for something higher quality.

Roland FP-30x would be a lot better than this. I also like some of the Casio models. PX I think it is. 3000

You can find an equivalent or better keyboard on Ebay under $150. The bench and stand aren't worth anywhere close to $350.
Can you share a link my good fellow slickdealer? I want to give learning this a shot but don't want to spend this much but don't know enough about models to know what is good or better below $150 on eBay.

If you decide on a Casio slimline, the CDP S360 has lots more features and higher polyphony than the S90.
BH Photo has the S360 bundle with wood stand and bench for $675. Without stand it is on sale everywhere for $499 ($490 at Amazon.)

I opted for this Roland. That casio model is not currently on sale, but even at the same price this Roland has some advantages: more tones, more polyphony, and MIDI over Bluetooth and USB (the casio is MIDI over USB only).
I was debating this Roland, which is basically the FP-10 (slightly upgraded) vs. the next model up Roland FP-30x or the more comparable Casio model (that has the Bluetooth MIDI), and the comparable Yamaha.
I decided not to go with the FP-30x deal from adorama; It's an upgrade but it has the same keyboard (PHA-4). The better speakers on the FP-30X, more tones, 1/4" outputs did not seem worth it for me. The 30X does support an upgraded 3-pedal attachment, while this FP-10 only supports the single pedal. The adorama kit has a low-end X frame, bench, and pedal. For me having the proper stand was worth it. The matching stand goes for about $150, so disregarding the bench and pedal (I have a better bench and pedal already) then this puts the piano itself at $350 + $150 for the stand adding up to the $500 value. I was able to pick this up; I wouldn't have bought it if I had to pay the $90 shipping.
This is primarily for a kid who is taking lessons and should be practicing on a keyboard with hammer action. We may outgrow this eventually but for now this deal is just what I was looking for.
