Chalk and cheese.

If you like one, you're unlikely to like the other.

I prefer the C3, but only if it's prepared properly by a caring and competent dealer, otherwise they can be average to average-plus. Set up well they're gorgeous.

The opinion above is purely that of PianoGuy and is simply the opinion of one person ....

If you're buying a piano, try as many as you can and buy the one you like, not a similar one of the same type.

Seconded. When I bought my C3 from one of the big dealers I thought it sounded great but then Jeff Shackell voiced and regulated it and the improvement was stunning - I don't mind telling you that I actually cried it sounded so amazing.

My advice? Don't go anywhere near the big dealers; use this site to locate the dealers near you who give a toss and get a C3.
