Thanks--maybe I'll stick with my sim since I'm a gigger with some mileage
too. Even the motionsound at 70 lbs sounds heavy to me these days.

BTW, on the Steinway bench, you get an unusual amount of highs from the harp
and less bass resonance, and so concert pianists (so they say) are supposed
to know how to calculate their effects based on what it is going to sound
like in front of the piano a few feet away; if this is right, I wouldn't say
the best seat in the house is not where the pianist sits. (Just being
contrary! :-) )
