What do you guys use for PCM piano sounds?  I asked on HC and people 
said buy a Kurzweil, but I'm not sure.  I find myself really wanting an 
A+ grand piano sound, without actually accomodating a piano in my 
apartment.  Things like the Yamaha CLP-170 aren't so good because I 
think you need to play through the iAFC effects to get the best sound, 
and I want to be able to play with headphones and also record.

Cheers,
Chris
