no, it is not - it is as important as sound quality.

yes, for software libraries - whereas the hardware definitely sounds better than the precedents ....
I hardly know any piano library that would cut through in a stage situation - of course it depends on the style of music, etc.
I have never had problems with my K26 or have heard of problems of Roland users that this thing crashes and blows your ears away. All the DC-bs lately in software land really is ridiculous. are they not able to test sufficiently or can' t they. And of course the hardware has it much easier - it the soft-devs chose that by themselves - so no reason or excuse to deliver that semi-bakes, buggy and unreliable stuff they do since a couple of years.
I remember someone whining on a forum that he is not able to use a specific soft-sampler in an interactive installation because it will not function of a minimum of time without failure - and therefore losing a contract. the probability that this had happened with hardware is pretty much neglectable according to my experience.
As the others said - hardware is not better or worse in general - it has different purpose. Use what you fits you best.
