Final Choice: Kohler & Campbell KC-131 or Essex EUP-123EHi t

[nazanone]

Hi to all, i'm new on this forums, i am from Argentina and i was between various pianos, but i finally decided between this two.

Essex EUP-123E u$s 5900 or Kohler & Campbell KC-131 u$s 4500.

Is for me, i am an advanced piano player and i need a good piano for long years of use, i liked the two a lot but the key responsiveness of the Essex liked a bit more, and is "Steinway designed" so it's a plus if in ten years i like to sold them, but there is a considerably difference of money...
On the other side the K&C is tallest than the Essex.

Between this two, for you what is the best? Is the essex a better piano than the kohler & campbell or it is in the same category?

Thanks!!

Bigger is usually better
Essex pianos are built in China and I think the Kohler & Campbell pianos are made in Indonesia. Neither of those facts set my heart racing. I would choose a Japanese made Yamaha or KAwai over the 2 pianos you've mentioned, especially if you're an advanced player.

The above is just my opinion

There is some indepth discussion of Kohler and Campbell vs Essex on this page

Hey thanks for the repy

I discarded the Kohler campbell, i tried next to the essex and liked much more.

Between the Kawai K3 and Essex 123, which is better piano?

Kawai K3 made in indonesia i think, but some parts in japan, and have plastic mecanism right?

The essex pure wood, made in china by pearl river i think
