I see what you mean.
But I just sold a CS-80 because I couldn't play the keyboard for longer than 
half an hour.
My Wurlitzer E-Piano is much better in that respect - main difference is 
that the force is
almost gone once the keys are down. That's the kind of behaviour I'm looking 
for in an acoustic piano, if possible.
