MUSTAR MDP-2700 Upright Digital Piano vs Casio Privia PX-S7000

Buy the Casio PX-S7000 if you want the most piano-like feel and sound in a slim, stylish cabinet: its Smart Hybrid Hammer Action keys, simulated ivory and ebony finishes, 256-note polyphony and three fixed pedals make it the stronger instrument for serious practice and performance. The Mustar MDP-2700 is the better fit for a first piano or a busy household: 88 graded hammer-action keys, 680 tones, 600 rhythms, dual 20W speakers and dual headphone jacks cover lessons, silent practice and arranging at a fraction of the Casio's outlay. Reviewers rate the Casio very highly for touch and tone; the Mustar is a budget upright whose feel and sound engine are a step below, and its Piano Only bundle ships without a bench.

• Choose the Mustar MDP-2700 if you want a full 88-key weighted upright with a huge sound and rhythm library, silent practice and MIDI/USB for learning and home recording without spending like a pro.
• Choose the Casio PX-S7000 if key feel, piano tone and a furniture-grade cabinet with three pedals matter more to you than having hundreds of extra voices and rhythms.
