Hello everyone. Im complete newbie and thinking about buying my first digital piano. Prices of newer P145 that is a newer version of P45 is pretty much the same price as P125 ( now with P225 the new model, but that is too much money for me). What is better to buy? Im planing to try to learn to play blues, not really interested in classical music. Thanks to everyone that could help me in this struggle :)
What are the main differences between the Yamaha P145 and P125?
Is the Yamaha P145 worth buying over the P125 if on a budget?
Does upgrading to the Yamaha P145 improve the keyboard feel?
So I've been looking for a piano to buy as a beginner and I think I want the yamaha p125 but the problem is that I cant buy the p125 anywhere near me that is used (my parent say that it has to be a used piano because a new one is to expensive). The closest one I could find is in Stockholm and I live in Gothenburg.
So my dad said that I could get the p145 instead but Idk if it' any good.
Should I get the yamaha p145 or try to convince my parents to get me the p125? Or is there another piano round the $500 price range i should get instead?

A bit thinner than the predecessors (13.3cm) due to the more compact GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) key action. It is claimed that it "reproduces the playing comfort of its predecessors in every way", not sure if this is the best thing to promise, not so fond of the predecessors' key actions, the recent GT-S action in the lower CLP line feels better to me. I hope the key pivot didn't get as short as in the Casio PX-S for compactness' sake... It should take a few weeks until they hit the stores before one can tell. The speakers seem to be rear-facing. Some stores are already taking preorders, of course at a substantial price hike.
I don't like Rolands because the keys feel artificially heavy. I prefer Yamaha. Sound quality, features, fancy tricks, that's irrelevant. I'm not planning concerts. All that matters is the physical feel of the keys. Would you say the P-225 offers a better physical feel of the keys, or is the difference only about sound quality?
