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

need more info about others let me know

there is another library

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