I wonder what this one is like? I have some reasonable electric grand options (Hollow Sun and Toontrack) but I feel there is a hole in my collection for a really good one.

It will point me to the Waves. I like what I've heard of the Waves. (hardly anything out there yet, lets go people) Addictive Keys NEVER goes on sale enough to get the E GRand. Waves under $30? That makes it pretty easy for me.
Anybody want to make a bet on Pianet and Clav being in the works?

I am thinking about pulling the trigger on the XLN keys trio , the grand, upright, and cp80, great price tight now at one of the usual suspects, the4 demos sound good(better than the sample tank I have), and I have some kronos CP patches but this VST sure is a lot easier. ANybody have any comments on the XLN audio keys?

If you're going for a trio, those are the ones to get first. I guess the Mark One is the lesser of the four Addictive Keys instruments, but still quite good.

I would agree with that. I think they all are underrated. They just kinda sit there at their website. No hype. no buzz. No additions.

I played around with the Waves Demo and I think it sounds really good. Better than the EZKeys E Grand.

Have to agree with you Soundwise...the CP80 IMHO was always a lousy sounding keyboard. But this still might come in handy to emulate that crummy sound when covering or paying homage to some eighties chestnuts.

Soundwise
I'm not fond of CP piano sound as it always felt like a poorly recorded grand or upright. Not sure why it is even sampled or emulated at all. 
Like it or not, it's the bomb if you're trying to get the sound for an old Genesis cover. That said, I didn't like the sound of this new one from Waves and rely on the Addictive Keys version. Back in the late 70's we were so happy to have one available. Dragging an upright to a gig was a non starter for us geetar players. Helping the drummer was bad enough, :)

The E Grand takes it's place along side the Melotron and the dreaded Farfisa. And that plastic horn with a keyboard on it. And most piezo pickups. Started out trying to sound like something else and failed totally. Now they are part of the band.

For me the 80's sound is the last sound I would want to replicate. Like the DX7 rhodes, urgh!. I took the Trio Package from XLN, with Grand, Upright and Rhodes, and not the E Grand for a reason. Yet in the name of completeness, if XLN put it in an upgrade offfer to the Trio package, I would kind of be tempted. I do see from their Demos a place in more modern music, and a sort of appeal. I like Peter Gabriel's work, but if I was to cover it, that's not a sound I'd seek replicate.
