>Steinways have heavy keys

I'll preface with by saying that I know very little about pianos but I love them for all their mechanics.

I've heard it said that if it were possible to get the action feel equal across all the keys, the manufacturer would. But your comment makes it sound less like a bug than a feature. Is it because people have just gotten used to it as an expectation, or because there is an inherent advantage?

(I'm assuming your statement about "heavy" keys was meant as a comparison between models and not a comparison of keys on the same piano).
