#Pianoteq 5 light touch software
There are other piano software packages, but my favorite is Pianoteq, mainly because it more easily runs on "normal" hardware (ie. Standard digital piano voices are horrible for experienced pianists to practice on, but Pianoteq is much better, and it's simple to use. Shameless, yet unpaid, plug: Look at Pianoteq PLAY to run on your computer (connected via USB/MIDI). Play on as many as you can get your hands on. Similar models that have the same action should (but not necessarily) feel about the same. The bottom line, if you ask me, is the action. I think most of the Arius models have GHS or GH, and most of the Clavinova models have GH3. Yamaha is probably a better "good" entry-level digital piano, since almost all of them have GHS or better. With Roland, PHA-II or PHA-III, but the only model I can imagine being close to your price range (unless you find one used) is the DP-990. With Yamaha, look for GHS, GH, or GH3 (increasingly "good" actions). This point is really not a big deal any more, as long as you stick to "digital pianos." If you venture into "stage pianos," "synthesizers," or just "keyboards" you're much more likely to find pianos without a hammer action. "Graded" just means that the lower octaves are weighted differently than the higher octaves. You want it to feel as if you're moving a similar action to an acoustic piano, which includes hammers hitting "strings".
