What I've come to realize is that some brands, among them Buffet and later Yamaha set new standards in terms of quality. Many older instruments have such a bendy keywork, questionable axles and so on that I feel like even older R13 are (sometimes) lightyears ahead. Especially true for the german market, older Kohlerts, Keilwerths, Meinel and whatever their names are/were can't actually match the quality of a simple Yamaha 457. These Instruments have now been around for decades and are still going strong, while and older Keilwerth's plating will rot away and the keys are all bent.
So in that regard, modern instruments have really improved. I dare not comment 9n the acoustical design, for I know to little about that 😅
Best regards
