There is a Yamaha CVP user group at
www.cvpug.com where you might ask this question. The CVP is the 'ensemble' version of the Yamaha digital piano line but shares components like keyboards and some of the sounds with the CLP. Beware - the user group is fanatical about Yamaha products!
For what it's worth, I considered the CLP990 before buying a Roland 1077. The keyboard definitely has a different feel from the other models. I didn't like it as well - too light for my taste. But keyboard feel is very idiosyncratic, you really need to try it.
The 990 has a much larger piano sample than the others - I think almost 70 megs. I thought it had the best sounding ROM-based piano sample of any digital I tried. I did not like either the sound or the visual aesthetics of the ear-level speaker arrangement, however.
