You missed the part about "it doesn't do multitimbrality,<br>
so there's only one sound coming out of it at any time".<br>

So 88 voices would be enough to achieve full piano behavior, 127 if you <br>
want to go full MIDI note range.<br>

<br>
But at just 25% cost increase compared to the 8-voice model, as <br>
outlined, let's go 16, just to be safe.<br>
