Summary:  

Ravenscroft 275 is one of the most realistic-sounding virtual pianos yet. It is based on the  glorious American-German grand piano of the same name. The sound is highly musical, and  the sampled resonances make the library feel like an actual instrument. If you are a pianist  and are used to playing an acoustic grand, you should give this library a try. Furthermore,  thanks to the lossless FLAC file compression, it only requires about 5.5 GB of disk space.  And with its selective loading feature for the mic setups and articulations, this library is  bound to perform well even on a very modest computer.

It was $99 at 50% off when I got it four years ago.

Can't see you getting this any cheaper!

 

Playability is top notch, but it's a timbre that can be a bit polarizing.

As for that Top 8, I have six of them, sadly. So much $$$ and hard drive space wasted. Also sadly, I don't have the Ravenscroft, which obviously is highly regarded.

One thing in the piano conundrum that gets overlooked is, how much room/reverb is already baked in to the samples? It's a bugger to mix sometimes if you can't start at dry. So that eliminates the EastWest and probably the Synchron.

Run like Hades away from Ivory II. I can't believe that old dog is even on that list. Gross!

Pianoteq, awesome to play, just meh to mix, but sooooooo easy on resources. Doesn't sound as authentic as they say, but in a mix, on a laptop, perfect.

Keyscape is very very good, offers a lot of instruments, and will make you quite satisfied. Probably!

The Addictive pianos are more two dimensional sounding but believe it or not, in a good way. And that program is so easy to use and light on resources.

But on that list, the piano I would take with me to the desert island is beyond doubt the Garritan. Wish I had bought that one first, instead of last.

There is electricity on that desert island, right?!?
