What is the Difference Between Acoustic and Digital Piano?

It's a long debate similar to "which one come first, egg or chicken" [I think they both came at the same time...!! ].

No doubt acoustic pianos provide an excellent sound, and is unmatched when compared to digital keyboards.

Whereas a decent digital piano  cost starts with budget of $200. You can also go under this and even get something under $100.

Acoustic pianos come with preloaded weighted hammer action keys whereas digital keyboard lacks this.

But don't worry, some good digital pianos offers weighted hammer action keys to provide the best feel possible.

There are so many functions that these keyboards provide and is unbeatable in terms of functionality.

They provide features like split function, layer options, polyphonic, other instruments sounds like of drums, guitars, MIDI connectivity and the list can go on but I think you got the point.
