I guess the answer is the infamous "it depends." If you're running your own studio for your own work, you can (quite successfully) pick your own poison. If you're running a studio for hire, having a real piano instantly separates you from those with only keyboards. For me it has been one of the first questions out of a potential client's mouth.

Along those lines, I have never been able to convince a real (whatever that means) pianist to use my (very accurate and believable) piano samples while looking at my 7'6" piano through the control room glass - no matter how long it's been since the tuner's last visit.
