The student will play on this for a couple of years and as one piano teacher puts it,"the (students) hands tense up because a very light touch produces a sound immediately". Right now the going price for a Lester Spinet (in my area) in working order would be about $300. Can you find a keyboard with piano touch for that price? In 5 years the Lester Spinet will still be worth $300, what would the keyboard be worth? Don't get me wrong, I understand the point you are making, I'm just adding my observations.
