Personally, I spent far more than I needed to on my digital piano when I upgraded from a Casio Privia PX-160 to a Kawai CA99. I'd be perfectly fine playing on the Privia today...but I don't regret buying my Kawai for a moment. In my case, I don't really want to deal with the maintenance and other costs that would come with an acoustic, and I like having the option of playing late at night without concern about disturbing my neighbors, so I prefer a good digital.

As a beginner that currently plays on a high end digital piano, I will say that I prefer the sound of my Kawai CA99 over that of the mediocre acoustics that I've played on. I would strongly encourage you to pay a visit to your local piano dealer.

On a more reasonable high end instrument budget, I absolutely love my Kawai CA99: you'd only be spending around $5500 for it. Great action for a digital piano, and amazing sound because of the soundboard focused design.

Also, I think the pedal on the CA99 is rather stiff (if it is at all similar to the CA97, which I think it is). Maybe try playing in shoes/slippers (if you currently play with socks/bare feet - but if slippers, chose some with a rather hard, not too flexible sole).

The higher end "sim" type actions are more realistic in terms of inertia because they have both a longer and heavier key stick. But because there's no real escapement, it's only simulated rubber bump, the heavier sticks feel sluggish overall vs an ACOUSTIC action or a lighter cheapo GHS stick on your p125. Go to any kawai store, they'll probably have the digital ca79 or ca99 or 49, play them and you'll see what i'm talking about, Yes they feel nice, but sluggish.
