Funny you say that. The M1 was my gigging axe for several years and I liked a lot of the sounds, but hated the piano sound. I eventually replaced it with a Kurzweil PC88 and it had so much better piano and strings but then I missed the M1's nylon string guitar and atmospheric type sounds.

Here's why:
1. These days I am back to most of what I do being writing, recording and playing my pop songs live. And since my keyboards are Dexibell Vivos, there is a distinct advantage for me to have my backing tracks, which are sans lead vocal and piano, sound almost exactly like my recordings when I play live without third party FX or Logicc Pro FX. And I do really like the piano sounds in my Vivo S7 and S1.
2. On my keyboards, I can only have 1 "Platinum" piano library loaded and keep a compliment of other sounds, since the RAM is limited and they are big. But in the plug-in, I can have them all, and go between them USA, Japan, German, Italian, French, upright, ragtime and honky tonk and the plug-in is super efficient and puts no strain on my Mac even in a full template.

It also has all kinds of tweaks and controls you can adjust to your personal taste.
For scoring work, I almost certainly may turn to some of my others but this is going to make my song work simpler and Moree consistent, and at this stage of my life, that's a plus.
But obviously, this is very specific to me and my needs, so if you have ones you really like, I get why you would pass on this one.
