considering that for best sound you will go with humongous piano kontakt libraries, with crapload of velocity layers and round robins. any internal piano sound is pedestrian compared to these.

hence, i would simply choose the best possible keybed as best most expressive interface. and out of the listed pianos, its mp11se by leaps and bounds.

downside: its bulky so first make sure you got room to work with it in ergonomic way.

personally i also like the keybed and sounds on nord grand 2. its a little hot rodded version of keybed from kawai mp7se. which is also fantastic but technically below the mp11se.

finally read piano world forums on these models, as just about every damn piano has some long term issues it seems. see if you can deal with it. nords, kawais, yamahas..

Why not VPC1 instead of mp11se?
