I've heard great things about the Ivory.
I recently picked up Soniccouture's Hammerstein which is fantastic along with Imperfect Samples Ebony Concert Grand. (a Fazioli) I'm completely in love with the Ebony Concert Grand - it's a bit darker, very rich with nice customizations. Imperfect Samples makes a few others that have gotten pretty good reviews as well.

I haven't demoed it but the audio clips of it are quite good in my opinion:

I also like the sound of this sampled library:

I liked more the American and German from the True keys bundle. I think I like the dark one more than the bright (just my taste of course). The great thing that they don't require the full Kontakt which I don't have and I don't plan to have really.
The price is affordable as well! I don't know, it will be between the Steinway (American) and Bechstein(?) (German). I loved both sounds.
I also love the Steinway 1928 in http://8dio.com/instrument-category/piano/ but the problem it requires the full Kontakt

It's funny the several people are suggesting piano in blue when that's one of two pianos he already has. Do people even read the first post?

You should take a look at Sound Magic's hybrid modeled pianos. Have different pianos

I think the "Kawai Ex Pro" by Acoustik Samples sounds AWESOME, especially for the price: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E_TSkkWxBs
Certainly not the newest one, but there to this date are very few piano libraries that match this one.

Surprisingly, this thread has become just a list of nice piano libraries. Nothing wrong with it, but Garritan CFX - my current go to - deserves to be here as well
