If you played the cello for a bunch of years I'm guessing you already know how to read music and hear when you've screwed up a note, so that's gonna be a huge help.

I'm in my 30s and just started playing the piano again after a 20+ year hiatus. I took lessons for 2-3 years when I was in elementary school, and then dabbled in various instruments throughout high school, then just stopped. I decided to take up piano again like 2 months ago.

1. Roland FP-30 is great, especially for entry level.
   
   
2. Stand choice is really up to you. I don't think the KDP-70 pedal unit will work without the KSC-70 stand, though, since it attaches to the stand. If it's feasible financially and you don't need it to be portable I think the stand and pedal unit combo are a good choice. I have a cheap pedal that doesn't attach to the stand and definitely have issues with it trying to wander around my floor. The furniture-style stand and attached pedal are definitely more similar to an acoustic piano than my hacky setup. That said you can get cheaper stands and pedals that are adequate. I'd just warn you to stay away from cheap single X-stands because they're really wobbly. With your height I'd go for a Z stand or the furniture stand so you're not bashing your knees.
   
   
3. I have a teacher. I would be a hot mess of bad habits without my teacher. It's not even that expensive, as things go. Totally find yourself a teacher if it is at all humanly possible.
   
   Also, don't feel like you have to practice a million hours a day. I practice 30-60 minutes a day and am advancing much faster than I expected. I suspect it's better to practice 30 minutes a day every day than to try to practice 2 hours a day and then get overwhelmed and busy and skip days all the time.
