Answer 
It depends on your goals. If you play the piano professionally, you should definitely study with a real piano. If you're in a band or play keyboards on stage, use a keyboard. Neither is "better" than the other.
For a solo pianist playing on a digital keyboard, there are many sounds - there is no way for digital pianos to record and reproduce them all. It's close But it's not the same.
When playing in a band, I can have a Hammond organ, a Wurlitzer or Rhodes electric piano, a Steinway or Yamaha grand piano, or an entire brass section at the push of a button. A piano can't do that.
Also, playing in an ensemble pushes a lot of frequencies that a piano eats into the sound, so it's not worth trying on a real piano. My keyboard has an eq built in so I can push the frequencies necessary to cut the band without increasing the volume.
For me, the piano is very good. I play over 100 shows a year. Life is hard enough :)
But if you want to learn classical music and plan to play with a real piano, a real piano will work better for you.
Never settle for better things. It's normal. Nothing is "better" than anything else. Your needs and wants decide for you..
