I have both and would use them for different funcions.

Actually the names are quite good descriptors, the Emperor is more
aggressive, better for rock and has a bottom end growlly "rumble". The
Old lady is gentler, I would prefer it for solo lyrical stuff and
jazz. I would also use it in mixes to where the piano needs warmth to
distance it from rhythm guitar or organ, some bright pianos can be
murder to get sitting nicely.

BTW I have posted an environment for download for using the sustain
pedal to trigger the sampled pedal noise that comes with the old lady,
but can be adapted for any EXS piano:
