The Reface CP is amazing isn't it!

I looked up the VPC-1 and while I probably would pay a bit more just to have speakers and a sound engine - the weight difference is interesting. It's 29.5kg for the VPC-1 vs. 17.0kg for the ES920!

The VPC-1's weight is, from what I can tell, reasonable given the action it uses. Its bizarrely named "RM3II action" is much closer to the Grand Feel action they put in their high-end digital uprights than to normal portable digital piano actions. Also, the ES920 is significantly lighter than its competitors.

yeah, it's heavy. I had it on my desk, and the desk started buckling so it's now on a stand

To be honest, the CP is really nice. There's also a hidden piano if you move the knob in between two values and then power cycle :)
