Yes the age slider is really good. I often use just a touch of it to get "real world" piano sounds.
The EPs are usable (in a pinch!) but I regret buying them and never use them.
I think the Korg EP-1 is the best all-round electric piano at the moment...(IMHO. I think I have every electric piano plugin there is!)
But there's definitely no other piano as tweakable as Pianoteq..

Pianoteq is definitely a great option, and all of their pianos undergo improvements in each new version.

In the early days I wasn’t so sure about whether their pianos were better than sampled pianos, but they have got a lot better.

Nothing beats Pianoteq. Period.

Interesting, yes I suppose its going to be more responsive in sound if using physical modelling, I hadn't thought of that before. whereas samples are more limited because of the practical limits on recording the original samples, cant have too many variations etc

Pianoteq also exposes a ton of physical modelling parameters (either general, or 'per note') to tweak the instruments.
The virtual microphone placement also goes quite deep, and supports multi-output.
