The price of the PF15 (and PF10) have indeed gone down (at Sam Ash, $875 for
PF10, and $1450 as above for PF15).  I went back to Ash (Paramus NJ) to check
both out, and the PF10 doesn't really feel that bad without the weighted keys.
(It is a shorter keyboard.)  However, after trying the Ensoniq Mirage (as
someone else here suggested), the piano sound was so good that, despite the
lack of weighted keys and a keyboard length of only 5 octaves, well, next time
I go to the store I'm going to be wearing two pairs of socks, so that I'll
still be wearing a pair after the first pair have been knocked off.  This
machine really has some incredible sounds available.  And to think I was saving
for a house...
