Best $2000 keyboard? (please read)

[thats]

The keyboard needs to be

1) weighted-action
2) capable of a good acoustic piano sound
3) portable
4) $1500 to $2500 price range

Thanks...

This is not the newest model Motif, but it has some excellent piano sounds.

However Yamaha also make an S-Series synth which has the hammer action
keyboard and (according to the web site) 'many of' the motif sounds,
presumably the piano being one of those sounds. Might be worth a look,
it's cheaper than the full blown motif as it has no sampling or
sequencing.

I've pretty much narrowed my search down to two Yamaha models, the P80
and the S90.

Which has the better acoustic piano sound?

What the strengths and weaknesses of each?

Is one clearly more desirable than the other?

Thanks for all suggestions...
