Quite a challenge we got here! On one end there's that excitement of finding "the one" while concurrently the risk of things not going as expected, combined with the liability of two pianos etc. Some of my instant reactions (pardon some redunant pointers from me, given I was responding line by line):
twocats I have absolutely loved the touch of the two SF10s that I've previously played
While that's a helpful data point, it's important to keep realistic expectations, that this one in particular may or may not be as lovely in its touch as the two you've previously played.
twocats I have spent so much money on my piano to get it where it is.
One possible scenario, is that you obtain the SF10 and end up having to put just as much, if not more, work than your 225 alluded above.
twocats I feel like I owe it to myself to at least go check out the Baldwin.
Sounds like a great idea to me. Probably set your initial expectations prior to viewing/playing it though, so as to temper your expectations and not get overly gut-reaction to it being "the one" instantly. The feeling of that, only to subsequently not go through with it, can be very very (negatively) powerful feeling, of not obtaining that which we desire.
twocats It would certainly make my life more complicated
Correct. And that liability can feel more pronounced, the longer you have two pianos there, one of which is essentially sitting there. Unless you decide to keep and enjoy both (in my case, I have an SF10 sized piano, and a 6'footer as well, and play both).
twocats good age-appropriate condition
I'd been keen about this. 1981... 43+ year old piano...
twocats I should chill out. Maybe itās not the one.
Taking a breather is certainly great idea. As far as if it's "the one" that's wholly subjective, and up to you š
twocats And if that's the case I should just buy it and can figure everything else out later.
Ultimately you'd need to tell yourself you made the right decision, and really believe in it.
