Hey all, looking to get into playing the piano and costco has a Roland Nuvola piano for $599 at my location. Havent been able to find many reviews over this piano but its seems like it could be a good deal. What do you guys think?
EDIT: Finally got the piano! It sounds well and the build seems sturdy. Thanks for your input and helping me make a decision. Any tips for beginners? Hoping to learn the keys in a decent amount of time, not my first time playing/reading music(Clarinet was my first) so hopefully learning to read piano wont take so long Link to photo
I used to play as a kid and want to restart...
How about this piano? https://www.costco.com/roland-frp-2-acr-digital-piano-bundle.product.4000186636.html
Price is $550+$90 shpping = $640
FWIW, I don't have a lot of $$$, so need to get something with great value. If there's something cheaper but similar, please suggest!

Expressive grand piano action
Playing the piano is all about expression. The FRP-2-ACR features PHA-4 progressive hammer action and Ivory-feel keys provide the responsive feel and nuance of a fine acoustic piano, whether you play hard or soft, captured by Roland’s touch-detection technology. With high-resolution sensing and escapement for fast key repetition, the PHA-4 keyboard faithfully translates into sound the subtlest differences in dynamics and tone. The attention to detail continues as you notice a heavier hammer-weight in the low registers and a lighter one in the highs. Touch the white keys and you’ll be convinced by revolutionary simulated ivory that recreates the natural texture and tactile feel of grand piano keys.
