I would like to know your current opinion on which keyboard would be a better choice for a complete beginner. All threads that I can find, that compare these two models are a few years old.

Both are available to me in Europe at a nearly identical price.

While the Kawai ES110 is the older model, the good about it is that it comes included with a quality pedal, much higher polyphony (192 compared to Rolands 96), and has great piano sound, but I have found reviews, where many complain about bad build quality and loud action. Also, the main way to connect to a PC is through Bluetooth MIDI, but to connect it with a cable, one needs to buy an additional USB to MIDI cable.

Roland FP-10 (which is still available to me in Europe) comes with a very basic ON/OFF pedal, that will need to be upgraded down the line, and has, what is described as the best action at this price point with PHA-4 Standard, and can be connected to a PC easily with a USB cable. But there are many complaints online over Roland clicky keys (which seem to appear everywhere where PHA-4 is used) and very heavy action.

The sound quality of both can be heard in this comparison from Merriam Music (the tested Roland is FP-30, the older model, before the release of FP-30X, and quite similar to the FP-10):

I can not test either, as they will be ordered online. I would like to ask for help deciding. If anybody has any experience with either of these two digital pianos, which would be a better buy in 2022?

hello again~

right as I was about to get a $250 weighted piano on Amazon, I found out somewhere else that someone is selling a Kawai ES110 for $550.

Is it worth it? I've been practicing the piano for 7 months but still don't have one myself. Not planning to do much apart from practicing it and playing it for fun, but I've been advised to get a weighted keys one. In the long run I do have in mind getting a proper one, though.
