Disklavier

I wasn't even aware of the MPC series until now.  I suppose an advantage 
that you did not list is an initially cheaper price without the 
playback.  While popular models of piano do hold their re-sale value 
longer than do new cars, I personally would not buy neither an Edsel nor 
an MPC. Although you may now feel certain that you will keep this piano 
and use it for the rest of your life, when reality dawns and you decide 
to sell or trade, I don't believe you will find much buyer interest in a 
used MPC.

Most DKV owners never have problems with solenoids; for most of the few 
who have, the corrective maintenance was covered by warranty.

One source of FSBO pianos is http://www.pianomart.com/

e-Bay is another source.  You can also advertise a "wanted to buy" in 
the RPT Journal http://www.ptg.org/index.html
