Comparing two popular digital pianos: Roland FP-10 & Yamaha P-45

I’ve been using these two models for around two months, and I have to say that, considering their relatively low prices, both are quite satisfactory. The Roland FP-10 has a better action mechanism (a bit like that of a grand piano), but the Yamaha P-45 emits a better sound.
