Sounds on Kurzweil MPG 100 & KAG 100 versus MPG 200

[Mayo Vox]

Hi there.
I'm exploring home digital pianos.
I was thrilled to see the sounds specification of MPG 200.
It almost the same as PC361 I have.
I tried MPG 100 ( which is 50% cheaper from the MPG 200)
But the sounds specifications seems to be completely different.
I can't find Stevie's Rhodes, Greg's B, Manhattan's Voices, none of these on MPG 100. Neither on KAG 100

QUESTION: Does anyone know how does MPG 100 sound? or KAG 100?

You might want to save up your money instead for Kurzweil's newly announced PC4.

You're right. But this should be a family compromise. Getting read of the acoustic piano in the living room is acceptable only if I bring something that looks like a piano. And to be honest I like arranger keyboards, too. This digital pianos seem to have sequencer, accompaniment.

I'm just confused with the sounds specification.

P.S. Still, this is just a draft plan. It takes some time and savings to do this

For home furniture style pianos many people swear by Kawais.

Face it. Any keyboard in a particle board box is not going to measure up to your PC361 in sound or flexibility.

I'd say offhand you should visit a few local music stores and size up the competitors. The Casios, the Yamahas, The Kurzweils and the Kawais. Let your ears and your fingers be the judge.

Most likely you're completely right.

Thanks for the suggestion. You're right about the 361 sonic's capacity

For Yamaha, the Clavinovas are nice, both CLP and CVP. So is the P515.
