Juho:

I agree about the Kawai MP8-II. It is a monster (I have one of it's predecessor's, the MP9000) and nothing on the market comes close to its sound and feel, (not even the venerable RD700GX). Period.

The other problem is at 73lbs (nearly 100lbs in a case), its just a beast to move around. That's why mine stays in my studio.

I think you'll like the RD-300SX, especially if you bought it at the right price. I looked at it too, but for the difference in price new (and I prefer a heavier action), I went for the Yamaha CP33 (and I'm a yammy piano guy anyhow) and it's been awesome for my live straight ahead jazz combo gigs.

Congrats on the new ax.
