A question about the Fantom-0's action and how is it VS FA-06's action

So as I told you my story in previous posts, I had the FA-06 for about two month, and I returned it for a preordered Fantom-06 plus a fine of about 600USD.

So I used Yamaha MODX6 for the past three years, and one of the reasons I looked for another keyboard is the action.
The MODX6 has small key-spacing and it is hard for someone like me to put accurately a finger between two black keys. It is possible, but hard.
The FA-06 is so much better in that aspect. And if I'm not mistaken the action of the FA-06 is somewhat heavier or would is say stiffer than action of the MODX6, which is also an advantage for me.

So I understand the Fantom-06 has similar action to the FA-06's action, and in the pictures it seems like the key-spacing is similar.
But since I'm waiting so much time for my preordered Fantom-06 to arrive, maybe someone can shed some light about those aspects of the Fantom-06's action, and how they are compared to the FA-06's action.

As I originally posted elsewhere... I've got the Fantom-07 and while I never played the FA-06, I've played the DS61 and VR09 which have the same action as the FA-06. They don't feel worlds apart. The Fantom-0 keys are about a quarter inch longer, which is good, but the landing seems bit mushier, which isn't. No difference in weighting that I can perceive. Both get stiffer as you play closer to the rear of the keys.
