There still is a difference between electronic and acoustic. It has less to do with the mechanical feel and more to do with the acoustics and intangibles. If you're serious about piano, I'd find a good upright. There just is no substitute for a "real" piano. And I say that having an Alesis digital keyboard in the house. But back when I played when I was young I was on a so-so upright, then later on a 6' grand. Imho you do not need to go to a baby grand, and in fact many of the full size uprights sound better than a baby grand. There's no hiding from physics...

I don't know the models you mentioned, but in general Yamaha makes fine pianos. Just get a "full size' upright and you should be good to go. Check with university music departments as they often sell their student instruments at a decent price. I had a Young Chang and it was a sweet piano...wish I still had it. Maybe at one point I'll find a used upright and start playing keyboard more seriously.
