I have thus come to the decision that the solution is a digital piano on a stand, that can be placed on my desk, or just take up too much space and then be put away when I'm not playing. I guess this also means I won't have to keep finding a new piano whenever I move (which is frequently).
Anyway - my question is this: which digital piano is best?! I am completely out of my element when it comes to electronic instruments! I have been told that Yamahas are the way to go, but I'm not sure which model produces the best sound quality/has the best key action (weighted of course) etc .....
..... I hope someone can help because I'm going crazy not being able to play 24/7 like I used to! x

Given the space that you have, I best thing I could suggest would either a Casio Privia or M-Audio Pro Keys 88 hooked up to your computer via MIDI with an awesome sounding plugin, such as Native Instruments Acoustic Piano. M-Audio is easier to hook up to a computer as it supports USB but can also be connected via traditional MIDI; you just have to make sure your soundcard is also good for the purpose like the M-Audio Delta series.
You might want to try Yamaha Clavinovas (the later models) or a Technics PR series (Has awesome piano samples that could knock the socks of those from Roland, poor polyphony though around 32 to 64 voices).
