    This is a totally accurate and true assessment about the Ravenscroft . . . I agree 100%.
    The NI Grandeur is not often talked about, but it is a really, really good sounding sample library too.

    While I've tried many piano vsti's, I still seem to prefer the sound of Kontakt's "The giant" with the tone knob completely on 'soft'. My second in line is "The Grandeur", also a kontakt one which is also mentioned by the previous commenter Sniv

    Kawai Ex Pro is still my go-to piano. I use the old Kontakt library to this day.

    I liked Hammers & Waves a lot.
    Just downloaded Alicia's Keys & Noire.

    Under 4 gigs is Native Instruments The Gentleman KONTAKT. It's been around since around 2013. It is a warm upright and is yummy. If I ever get my Kontakt working again after foolishly trying to upgrade I'd love to tinkle it's ivories again.

    VI Ravenscroft 275. The sound is stunning but even more so it's responsiveness. It's just such a joy to play. It's footprint is 5,74GB
