While it doesn't have a music stand with it, I would recommend this stand instead since it's built like a tank and for not much more: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016N052M6 you can also add a 2nd tier to it if you decide to expand and add another keyboard later on. It's not collapsible, but it has zero wobble or flex at all.
Get a Z-Stand. https://www.amazon.com/Knox-Style-Heavy-Adjustable-Keyboard/dp/B016N052M6
If you played the cello for a bunch of years I'm guessing you already know how to read music and hear when you've screwed up a note, so that's gonna be a huge help.
I'm in my 30s and just started playing the piano again after a 20+ year hiatus. I took lessons for 2-3 years when I was in elementary school, and then dabbled in various instruments throughout high school, then just stopped. I decided to take up piano again like 2 months ago.
Also, don't feel like you have to practice a million hours a day. I practice 30-60 minutes a day and am advancing much faster than I expected. I suspect it's better to practice 30 minutes a day every day than to try to practice 2 hours a day and then get overwhelmed and busy and skip days all the time.
I don't need a laptop with my controller all the time and was considering using this keyboard stand
I use [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016N052M6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) stand. If you have the perfect spot for the controller on the desk then keep it there, if not I'd suggest the stand.
I like it because I can adjust the height of the stand. Additionally I can move it closer/away from the TV. It allows me to move it to the perfect spot.
I play bemani in my living room, and sometimes when I have company I move the controller and the stand in order to make more room and avoid telling people to not use it as a coaster. The stand survives moving well.
I'm not familiar with the specific x-stands included in those, but I would recommend getting a z-stand such as this one instead. When I first got my p-45 I had an x-stand and it was extremely wobbly to the point that I had to hold it still while I was playing. They're also somewhat uncomfortable to fit your legs under.
Also, just a side note, if you're looking to get the cheapest possible price, keep in mind that some websites don't charge sales tax. B&H Photo Video doesn't charge sales tax unless you're shipping to New York or New Jersey.
I use this stand for my P115. No problems with wobbling but it doesn't look like the L85 if that's what you're after.
That is the stand I used with my original keyboard. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work since it's adjustable. Did you go from not-88 keys to 88-keys? The stand can widen but it will sink lower as it does. The stand never tipped over on me - but my keyboard was only 200 dollars. A quick search suggests closer to 700 for the FP30.
For my new keyboard I got the stand linked below. It costs more but it's very sturdy (all metal) and has no threat of tipping over. I like that I can adjust the height without effecting the "tabletop" area. I will say though while this stand is portable it's not as portable as the X style. More pieces to take apart and what not but that is the price of sturdiness.
If you've already ordered it you can try the X out and if it seems wobbly upgrade. The X stands just make me worried looking at them but again, like I said, when I had one it never tipped over. It just seems like it could at any moment.
