Carol has WAY more expertise than I do.  However, to answer the question as to ease of installation....

It was simple to install.  Just remove four screws and unplug the old Mark III and then put the new 850 in with 4 screws and plug in the lines to the back.  Very EASY.  But note there is one cord you won't be needing.

I think you have to buy from a dealer. I am sure Carol can direct you to a nice dealer.   In St Louis Mo I bought from Piano Distributors  (www.pianodistributors.com)  But really I just walked in and picked it up.
Your Tuner may also provided valued information.  Mine did.

I have made some inquiries of my local dealer, but he doesn't seem too interested in selling it to me (either for self-install or installed by his technicians).
