| Thanks for the replies, just to clarify as it might of been misunderstood in my OP, I have played various real Piano's and much enjoy playing them over any sample libarys and given the space, money and choice I would!
I don't think for one minuite that a RD700GX with EW for eg, can be better that a real steinway nor sound better when playing it
However my original post was geared more towards the final product (recording) and how this differs from one to the other in a mix!
As previously mentioned I would prefer a mediocre piano recorded good than a great piano recorded bad and "for some of us" the room we are in and the equipment (and even sometimes the know how) limit us to acheving a sound that "maybe, just maybe" a sampled libary could offer ibn the right context!
