True Pianos is pretty decent.  Comes with Plat.  Sample Tank has some good pianos too.

Yes I'd second that.
 
Platinum ships with the "Amber" TP module though there are several others should you wish to upgrade it (at a cost!)
 
With a bit of EQ tweaking you can get the Amber module to fit well in most productions, as long as it's not an exposed classical/solo piece

Im a huge fan of EZ Keys myself. I know some might say its a cheap sounding synth, but when you Doctor up the sound, its becomes legit. The grand piano is especially a big hit here in the Chuckebaby household.

Here's a back to back comparison of 23 pianos on youtube.
 
The essence of low and high end keys seem pretty easy to capture. I tend to judge more by the midrange keys as they seem like the hardest to capture, by my ears anyway.

Nice!
 
I found the MIDI file for the song used in the comparison, Springtime Sundays.  Just google for "SPR_TIME.MID",  or look here:

It's a good way to demo what you have, or any trial versions that you may download
 
And here it is being played on a real piano:
 

It should be noted.. IF you have a registered Focusrite audio interface (or buy one).. you can get the Addictive Keys (and pick whichever you prefer) for FREE. I picked up the Grand Piano for 0$. But you have to own a Focusrite interface. They do a "monthly" plugin deal where you get free plugins every month and this was just added recently.
 
Just FYI

XLN Audio Addictive Keys might be worth checking out.
 
Edited to add:
 
Addictive Keys has a demo for Studio Grand that has some limitations but might be useful depending on your needs:
 
From the web site:
NO TIME LIMIT - use it as long as you like
INCLUDES demo version of the acclaimed Studio Grand (4 octaves, 3 mic perspectives)
THE FULL VERSION of Studio Grand offers all 88 keys and 6 mic perspectives - or buy any of the other AK instruments or bundles

The Alien Pianos patches in D-Pro... with that weird yelling part turned off... I love those.

XLN Addictive Keys are sweet indeed, both Grand and Upright.
If you have Focusrite or Novation hardware, you'll get one for free.

I was all set to get the Grand freebie when I listened to the Upright and picked that instead. Haven't used it in a project yet, but I liked what I heard in the demo. . . .

That Upright is quite nice, there aren't that many well done regular uprights.
For grands, the only VSTs I've actually really liked and didn't feel like I need to wrestle with were Ivory and KeyScape. Different price bracket though. Addictive Keys is decent if you don't need to use the close/wide mics which have crazy high resonance in the highs.

This. It's not even the full version but I've found it very servicible.
 

Actually yesterday i purchased the Cakewalk's own Steinway Grand Pianos and they sound amazing

And the price is more affordable. Love it. Will also try your suggestions
