Digital Piano Vs Upright Acoustic Piano

Digital Piano Vs Upright Acoustic Piano
My son started taking Piano lessons recently and he is currently practicing at home using a borrowed Casio Keyboard. Keyboard do not have the hammer effect and the keyboard is very light so it is mot suitable for practicing.

I am contemplating to buy a Piano for him and his Piano teacher recommended the Acoustic Piano over the Digital Piano. A reasonably good used upright acoustic piano will costs from RM6k and above. And it will also required tuning twice a year at RM80 each time. It will also required a heater.


And this Casio Celvanio AP-500 Brand New will costs around RM4.5k and no regular tuning required. It has scaled hammer effect for the traditional piano effect feel.

Since I have no music background, it is a dilemma to choose between the two. Any good music experts who can share and advice me which should be a better choice for a beginner.
