If you are thinking of buying a new piano and trying to decide whether to buy a digital electric piano or an acoustic piano, let me offer this advice to help you decide.
If you are into the bells and whistles, synthesizer sounds, auto accompaniment and stuff like that, then get a digital piano.
But if you are into just playing the piano and enjoying the natural acoustic sounds from this lovely instrument, then just buy an acoustic piano.
Space wise, the footprint is about the same, both instruments take up about the same amount of footspace.
Also, an acoustic piano does not consume any electricity (except for the small amount you may use for a heater/dehumidifier) so that will save you money in the long run and not add anymore to your carbon footprint.
I am not against using synthesizers of computers for music making if that is what you want to do. What I am saying is that if you just want to play the piano, then the acoustic piano is best.
When there is a power blackout and none of your other toys work, you can sit in the dark and enjoy making music on your acoustic piano.
Playing the piano is my most favorite thing in the world to do....er wait...except eating...and sleeping, looking out at the ocean, looking at the stars in the sky and did I mention eating and sleeping? Ok rephrase, playing the piano is one of my most favorite things in the world to do.
It really happifies* me.
* yes, its a real word in the Oxford.

Just my 2 cents worth:
Most people forget that an accoustic piano lasts longer (both literally and in a monetary sense, i.e. second hand value) compared to anything electronic.
