Have you tried East - West Ultimate Piano Collection? Works 
reasonably well for me (used with my Akai machines, so not sure if it 
translates well to EXS). Also, I had played piano for quarter century 
before I switched to electronic music, and I have totally given up 
the idea of playing, say, Chopin on a sampler, even with the best of 
the best sample library, cause it will never sound as good as the 
real thing no matter how much RAM or how many velocity layers or 
whatever else it may use, so I only use it when it's just an addition 
to my electronic textures and the quality is not that critical. Just 
my $0.02.

Best,

Andy
