Keybed question

Went from a Kross 2 (61-key) to a Roland FP-30X and have been playing it for a couple of years. I tried playing an upright acoustic once and was blown away by how easy it was to press the keys. I couldn’t get p or pp dynamics for the life of me… and now, a year later, with the Kronos 3 (88-key), I went to try it in a store and had the same issue.

I’ve never really played on a real piano so what I’m wondering is: is my action too heavy? Will the Kronos 3 be bad for my technique? And how hard is it to achieve p or pp once you get used to it?

I’m also wondering how much heavier or lighter the keybeds are on a real upright, or maybe even a grand. I don’t have anywhere to try pianos myself, so any help would be appreciated.

Btw i am not looking for a perfect replica of a grand or anything like that, just something close enough for expressivnes when playing piano but not for a REAL classical tehnique :)
