hi thanks for your post, so why do you think east west is a looser I was considering purchasing east west pianos the most, as there demos to me sound the best,

east west lacks the ability to adapt to a mix the Bosendorfer is weak the stienway doesn't have the cry , I dont mind the bechstien if want to a sweet sound Galaxy D is it ,but the new toontrack ezkeys works well a little pricey
again east west would be my second to last, Garritan is the worst
if your on a budget try sampletek

is another choice

this video I'm using the east west Bechstein its too bad I didn't have galaxy at this time

there is another library

but i can see problems in an arrangement by itself its fun
east west is just too limited
