It sounds a little harsh to my ears (although I’m sure working with effects and EQ could help this.) However, it was excellent in a rock band mix, maybe even better than Ivory II. But I found that it didn’t sound authentic enough when played solo, especially in the middle and upper octaves.
PianoTeq - Before purchasing Ivory II, I used PianoTeq as my go-to piano. So, before every performance I need to check this. I am annoyed by the need for the USB key dongle, and sometimes when I first load a patch in C3, the piano samples are not loaded, and I have to re-save the patch. Although it has a fair number of options for tailoring the sound, I find myself sticking with a single rich grand piano sound. Ivory II - I think this has the best pure grand piano sound, and is what I use 80% of the time when that is the sound I am after. I think they all have their strengths and weaknesses, but these are strictly my opinions, not necessarily backed up with extensive resesarch.
I use both of those, along with Keyscape, and almost all of my use is in live performance.
