At this class of piano its more a matter personal preference. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

CFIIIS fairly easily if we're talking new models.
If this work is so threatening, it is not because it's simply strange, but competent, rigorously argued and carrying conviction.
