On his Roland.uk artist page, Mike Lindup is quoted about his Roland RD-800 Digital Piano, plus he can be seen playing it and talking about it and the background of his keyboard rig with Level 42 (at least) in the linked YouTube video (dated of 2016):
MIKE LINDUP ON THE RD-800 "The piano is where I started, and being a long time user of the classic MKS20 and more recently the RD-300, the RD-800 has some exciting possibilities to further move the game on in terms of personalisation. I love the fact that each individual note can be adjusted for pitch, tone, attack & sustain, making it possible to go beyond the often clinical sound of other digital pianos. In addition there are lots of other quality sounds to play with and combine-it's time to play!”
From the same article, you can read the mention of the digital piano used by Mike on the 2013 album Sirens and then live:
Times change, and Mike has moved with them, returning to the studio with Level 42 for 2013’s acclaimed Sirens release, and recreating the classic hits live using the Roland RD-800 and the crossover-tech Roland JD-XA. For this iconic synth man, it’s all about “lots of colours”, and his palette has never sounded so full.
