Gigging keyboardist looking to replace my 20yo Roland 300SX. That 88 key keyboard weighs about 34 pounds. I’d like something lighter, that feels good, has good piano sounds, and 5 pin MIDI DIN out

Keyboards I’m considering include:
Nord Electro 6 HP 73
Yamaha YC 73 Stage
Yamaha CP73

I prefer new, and under $3000. I would consider Guitar Center used (45 day return policy) I tried the Roland RD-88, but thought action too light

My other gigging keyboard is a Roland VR-09. I like the organ sounds, but find the pianos weak.

My band plays blues and Southern Rock. I also play occasional solo jazz & blues gigs.

Suggestions?
