Disklavier

Hello All,

I am a newbie to both this list and piano ownership.  

Today, while on a piano shopping adventure, I came across an MX100B 
from a very reputable dealer in the area.  It appears to be in 
excellent condition with alleged limited use over the years (one 
owner, home use, originally sold by same dealer).

Anyway, the going price is $5,995 which includes some sort of a midi 
interface unit as well (not the DSR1 which I have seen mentioned in 
some posts).

1.  What are general thoughts on this model?  
2.  Does the price point seem reasonable? 
3.  Is the MX100B now considered a TRS80 in a Pentium world?

I have read about some of the shortcomings such as 720k diskettes 
and converting files to a proprietary format.  I can live with that 
but I do want to make sure that it does and will continue to have 
available a wide and complex variety of composures.  Would hate to 
discover that it is too old or slow in terms of processing to play 
top quality music or that 720k simply does not offer enough disc 
space. 

Other options, for more money would be a Story & Clark with 
Pianomation installed.  I am a bit aprehensive about the lesser 
known brands.  They also had a used 41" Steinway (no player 
installed) but I suspect I liked that mostly based on the name.

Thanks for bearing with me, this is a whole new world I am entering 
as the kids approach the age of piano lessons.  Heck, maybe I will 
pick up on my own lessons from 20+ years ago.  But yes, it is nice 
to have the player installed so that "someone" in the house can play.

Best Regards,

Mike I.
