I'm currently in the process of purchasing a Kawai ES120 Digital Piano and seeking advice on the best sustain pedal to complement it. Among the options I've found online are the On-Stage KSP100, Nektar NP-2, and Roland DP-10. However, I'm uncertain about two things:
1- Whether I should stick with the sustain pedal that comes with the Kawai ES120 Digital Piano (= Kawai f-10h Damper Pedal)
2- If not, What are the current best options for sustain pedals in the market to accompany the Kawai ES120 Digital Piano.
My primary concern is ensuring that the pedal's feel is authentic and closely resembles that of an acoustic piano. Additionally, I'd prefer a pedal that provides varying degrees of sustain, depending on how much I press it (just like on an acoustic piano). Thank you.

I currently own a Casio PX-S3000, and I'm looking to make a change. I had an FP-30, sold it after I quit playing for a bit and bought the Casio. The action on the Casio is starting to drive me a little nuts. It just feels too light, especially when I go to my teacher's house and try to play on an acoustic.
I'm sort of in between an FP-30x (maybe even RD-88... I'm a sucker for knobs and screens) and the Kawai ES120. I'd just grab a new Roland but worry that maybe the action is too heavy compared to my Casio.
I'm less worried about sound quality since I will most likely be using speakers and headphones. Also not too worried about additional sounds since my plan is to get some sort of piano software.
If anyone has tried out both and has some input, it would be appreciated.
