Pianists for Alternatively Sized Keyboards

1. That's definitely an issue. But in the space occupied by a single upright acoustic piano, a music venue could easily store three digital pianos. No doubt it would take decades before you could be able to rely on a venue having made this transition though.

2. Yes, but it sounds harder, and needlessly so.

3. Yeah but that actually sounds like a good thing.

The best digital pianos are enough cheaper than the best acoustics that you would save money. For top level competitions digital is enough worse that quality goes down.

Most piano players are not good enough that the best digital is a hindrance to their playing, and the ability to sound like several thousand not a piano instruments is useful in itself. But then most people compare a cheap digital to a much more expensive acoustic and of course the acoustic is better.
