Petrof P126 and Petrof P115 ii, Which is better?
I’m planning to buy a second hand Petrof upright piano.
Price for P126 is RM10000 and for P115 ii is RM5000, in well used condition, is that worth for that price?

you dont know how heavy Petrof's weighted keys are?

Simple rule "ALL THINGS BEING EQUALl", the taller the better.

A shorter well-made piano will likely sound better than a poorly-made taller one.

If you are comparing within the same brand, I think it is very safe to say that bigger is better.

If you are looking to buy a used piano and would like the help of an expert piano technician to inspect the piano prior to making any decision. A brandname on the fallboard doesn't tell you how's the condition of the used piano(s).

All modern pianos tend to have a touch between 49 - 52 grammes is the standard weight of the key set. If you are under 49 or over 54 then this would be considered light or heavy depending upon which side yours falls on. Some makers set the keyboard the same across the entire 7 octaves, while others make the bass section a little lighter because of hammers (heavy). So some will measure 51 in the treble and 53 in the bass...and so on and on and on...Also, upweight which also effect on the touch weight.

There's many more aspects to touch than heavy and light. And, heavy again means different things to different people and "SLUGGISH" key/action can be another aspect of it. This is where peoples' taste or preference will differ, especially the better players among them.

A stiffer action aka keys that have more resistance to your depression of them, leads to a greater amount of control you have over your piano. You may just have to work a bit harder to play a very loud passage, rather than having accidental triple forte in places that should be pianissimo..
