Would UVI Key Suite be a better deal at $349 $300??? It depends what you are after. I've been thinking about both of these lately. There is more in Key Suite but what's in Keyscape is widely regarded as being of higher quality eg mix ready, more velocity layers. But as a case in point it only has one grand piano, the Yamaha C7. So if you want one of all the major grand pianos, just getting Keyscape isn't going to scratch that itch. But you will have a high quality grand piano. And the MKS 20, the JD 800 Crystal Rhodes, a Wurly 140B (mellow tone like that new 145B Kontakt library) as well as the 200A etc... A pretty impressive collection all told. I'll probably get both, eventually. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard either of them in real life 🙂 At $260k for the 280VC I'm pretty sure they're never going to go on sale to the point that it's within my budget. Might have to content myself with how they compare in all their sampled glory.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You underestimate @cclarry. At the very least, you can play the one @Bapu has in his garage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
