Mark IV vs Mark III vs Mark II

2005-12-12 by Alberto E. Minetti

I have a very naïve question:
By starting with the idea to get a C3 Silent after my moving back to Italy from UK (where I sold my 35 years old C3), I am now considering to buy a used Disklavier C3 instead (which is also Silent). It is possible that a dealer will propose a 10-13 years old one, and there is another opportunity on a almost new Mark IV.
Are the differences between the many series of the past quite remarkable? My only purpose is on Jazz live recordings for successive analysis of the playback, thus the softest tone (recent discussion in this forum) is not an issue.
I have read the features of Mark IV series, but I would need opinions from Disklavier owners who tried more than one of them in the past to make up my mind.
Thanks in advance to anybody commenting on this.
Alberto from Milan
