Well it works for me - CP300 / East West Quantum Leap Pianos is a winning combination. Don't have Ivory but I also use it with the Sampletekk stuff, Braunschweig, Truepianos etc. The inbuilt sounds aren't bad either. Trying one out in store won't be the same as using it with your virtual piano of choice but I wouldn't buy one without having a play first.

I also find it useful sometimes to be able to just turn it on and play without having to boot up & wait for the DAW / samples / reverb etc. to load.

It's a big beast though. You'll probably need the LP3 stand - a normal double braced metal stand is too wobbly.
