Two weighted 88s
Do you want everything in the box, or the better key action?
Both are portable 88-key instruments with weighted actions. What each maker chose to include, and to publish, is where they separate.

A tick marks the better answer on that line only. Counting ticks does not decide the page — the two verdicts below do, because these products answer different questions.
Take the CDP-S110 if the first evening should need no second order: pedal, adapter and music rest are supplied, it runs on batteries, and it is 99 mm deep.
Take the FP-10 if practice happens late in a building with thin floors. A key mechanism designed to be quiet is a specification the Casio listing does not make, and headphones do not silence the keys themselves.
Neither listing publishes a figure that would settle it — one names Scaled Hammer Action II, the other an ivory-feel surface. Both are weighted 88-key actions, which is the line that matters against an unweighted keyboard.
Headphones silence the speakers, not the keys. The mechanical noise of the keys themselves is what travels through a floor, and it is what a neighbour hears at eleven at night.
88 weighted keys · 10 sounds · pedal and stand included
A slim 88-key board with Casio’s Scaled Hammer Action II and, unusually at this price, the SP-3 pedal, music rest and power adapter already in the box. Ten sounds rather than hundreds — the money went into the keys.
Best for: A first weighted piano where the pedal and adapter should not be a second order.
≈ 300 €
88 keys · SuperNATURAL · headphone output
Roland’s entry into the FP series: 88 keys with an ivory-feel surface, the SuperNATURAL engine, and a keyboard mechanism Roland describes as quiet in itself — the detail that decides whether a flat-dweller can practise at night.
Best for: Someone who will practise mostly in headphones and wants the action to be the strong part.
