Subject:When is a clone not a clone?

When it's a digital piano.

Even though this is a Hammond Clone room, I thought I'd shoot this
out there since there is quite a bit of knowledge on the subject in
here.

In addition to retooling my Hammond set-up, I'm also shopping for a
new stage pie-anna.

My criteria (in order of importance):

1)THE BEST possible piano sound - ONLY interested in the acoustic
piano sounds (a good Rhodes would be a bonus, but is not required).

2)Feel - gotta feel as close to an acoustic as possible (action,
sensitivity, etc.)

3)Weight - would prefer something under 70 lbs.

4)Cost - under $1500 is preferable.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

p.s. Also, any tips on a good stage amp (small to medium venue) to be
used ONLY with the piano would also be greatly appreciated.
