I’m a professional pianist. Undoubtedly this is true for some. But there are important tonal and other differences that may be the overriding factor. I regularly played a smaller Bösendorfer that I despised; its tone was ordinary and its action was uneven and imprecise. But a few years ago I performed on an Imperial Flügel that was spectacular. My own instrument for practice at home is a Steinway B, and I prefer it irrespective of whether more expensive pianos exist. But maybe that’s not what you had in mind for “personal use.”
