Ivory is great by the way. Use it all the time. Buy it.

Naturally your C7 will do for now. I didn't mean to talk sh#t about Yamaha pianos. They are quality instruments, and are always reliable in concert and recording situations. I just happen to prefer a darker piano with a more complex tone. Yamaha and Bosendorfer tend to be more pure in tone and therefore more generic.
Some people prefer this. Oscar Peterson plays Bosendorfer and so does Chick Corea. Herbie Hancock digs the FAZIOLI, an instrument I forgot to mention before. I've played one. They're to my mind a cross between a Bosendorfer and a Bluthner.
But who doesn't dig Steinway?
