If not considering the price, of course Steinway is much better and more prestige than Yamaha. But remeber, the "cheapest" Steinway may be more expensive than the "top-of-the-line" Yamaha. And who can complain Lexus, the affordable luxury that many people can enjoy, instead of Rools Royce that few people can even see it? So I think the score of "B-" for Yamaha is unfair, with Steinway as "A". With the price factor, I'd think they are comparable, e.g. both are "A-". You are comparing Rolls Royce to Lexus.
