I really believe people also can get gray Yamaha parts easily from 
abroad. If they can import such a humagous piano, importing small 
parts should not be a problem. Therefore, I really do not think that 
people need to worry about buying gray pianos, especially if the 
price is very reasonable. I myself just bought MX100II made for US. 
I personally do not want to have unnecessary hazels if my piano is 
broken and need to get parts from outside of the US. But for those 
who have bought gray pianos, I do not think that it is the end of 
the world if their pianos are broken. The chance of Yamaha pianos go 
bad is very small.
