Hello,
I would like to hear from anyone who has recent experience with either of these two makes and models. We are in the market for a grand in this general price range ($16-18k). In your experience how do these two compare? Which would you choose? I have more recent experience with the Hailun than the Essex. I like what I hear and feel with the Hailun 178.
We have a couple Essex 123 verticals (< 2 yr old) in practice rooms and they are pretty decent instruments, especially when compared to older Essex that were horrible. If their grands have made similar improvements, we might consider one.
Thanks for any insights.
