Owning a digital pianos has its advantanges. Digital sound is produced differently than acoustic sound, so digitals are free of traditional acoustic piano maintenance - including the required tuning every six months. Digitals are relatively easy to move and are not subject to environmental changes affecting acoustic pianos. Digitals are ideal for apartments or other living quarters where daily practice could be an intrusion - digitals can be played through a headset allowing the pianist privacy and those around them peace and quiet.
Keep in mind, digitals have distinct disadvantages as well. A digital piano is not comparable to an acoustic piano. The key response of a digital is not the same as an acoustic piano, and the sound quality simply cannot compare. Some teachers won't even accept students who must practice on a digital piano.
