I'm in the process of buying a Virtual Piano.
The choice I'm considering at the moment is whether to go for TruePianos,
which comes with a SPlat discount ... or PianoTeq (Standard Ed).
I will mainly be using it with my Roland A-500, but have ambitions of at some point in the future to get a real hammer action type of keyboard (recommendations appreciated) ... other than that I will be using it with other light Roland Keybeds ... like D10, S10, S50 ... and my DX7-II ... the latter which maybe will give a better piano feel to the playing ... as the key bed is somewhat more heavy. OK. I digress.
What I'm wondering about is, which of these is the smartest choice ? I like both of them ... though PianoTeq seems somewhat more complex and sophisticated. I like it's wizard for adapting itself to the nature of your existing keyboards bed. Truepianos, seem a bit more crude and simple in this way. Like the sound of both.
I was hoping for some feedback on this before I decide, I see there are other options as well ... but haven't evaluated those.

[Edit] I forgot to mention, it's preferable if it's usable in Win XP as well as have a 32-bit VST option.
