I have a Clavinova CLP170 as well as the T2, so I will be posting some additions to the piano shootout on svpworld very shortly. The CLP170 is the closest I've heard to a real grand piano, although much depends as I have found on the speaker and amplification. The CLP170 recreates this well, but record the CLP and then listen through the tyros speakers and theres a big difference! Also I agree with the last post, in a mix the CLP170 can sound overpowering and unbalanced whilst the purer and thinner keyboard pianos do better. For solo performances the CLP wins me hands down anyday, but for styles and backings I would go with the tyros pianos.
I do find the live pianos a bit muddy on the T2, but with some voice editing and eq you can achieve a much cleaner and better defined sound for performance. The samples themselves are good enough, just try tweaking the voice settings. The sampling features of the T2 though are good enough to enable the loading of new pianos in future, though I dont suppose we will ever see the harmonic sampling and key release effects of the clavinova.
