I’m not extremely concerned with sound quality, both because I intend to play around with lots of VSTs and because I‘ll be upgrading from a Roland RD-700SX which has served me incredibly well but which is very outdated when it comes to the sound engine!

Sounds like a good approach to me. Buy for the best action your budget will allow. With VSTs you can tailor the sound to your liking. I don't have a stake in Pianoteq, but if you aren't aware they claim that version 8 is going to be brought to iOS soon.

If you use a decent quality open back headphone, I feel like this is even more true, because the onboard sound becomes irrelevant.

I used Pianoteq on PC many years ago, and I just heard that they’re possibly coming to iOS soon. I’m looking forward to it.
