Hello everyone.
Let me introduce myself: my name is Alessandro and I would like to purchase a digital stage piano. I would connect it via USB to the iMac, so in addition to the sound of the piano itself, I would also use the Logic library, depending on the needs of the piece.
There are two reasons why I need a digital stage piano:
1) for the live performances I will have to do with the musical group I assembled a few months ago
2) for a duo project (singer + piano), performing various covers (where an acoustic piano is not provided by the venue)
I am very conflicted because I would like something professional, with decent action that allows me to perform virtuosic passages (where necessary) at a low price, however, because after all, I am only now venturing into "live" music (aside from, obviously, classical music concerts performed on grand pianos).

The two pianos I am undecided between are:
1) KAWAI ES 110 (about 700 euros)
2) CASIO CDP 130 (about 400 euros)

Is it worth spending those extra 300 euros for the Kawai? If not, are there other pianos more advisable for my purposes?

Thank you very much in advance for your answer, sincerely.

Alessandro
