My KORG Module just hardly ever crashes, so it wins by default.
Theoretically, the outright winner for overall best sounding any sampled recreation of anything is a well made BM3 bank -- there's no upper limit to potential quality and nothing more capable of being manipulated to personal taste.
I replaced all my various sampler apps (including Wurlitzer in the context of this thread -- I got the EP samples from an old gigasampler bank) with custom instruments made from public domain samples a long time ago, and I don't find that any available alternatives come close to satisfying me as much as my custom constructed versions do (for a fraction of the cpu power too).
Hi Doug, you, unfortunately, did not include the Colossus epiano pack. It's $20 but they sound great on Crudebyte's demo. 1.5 gb if that is relevant. They sound very rich and pure. Any opinions on it? Their demo:

also it should be noted that Module does not play midi tracks. Is that no midi out?
@LinearLineman Hi, I demoed it four days ago, but I deleted it shortly after for space and it takes an age to reinstall
It is very good too😎
Hi Doug, I meant the electric pianos in Colossus. I just posted their demo above.
@LinearLineman I do briefly go ove the EPs in this demo but here is a more detailed look at them in a demo I made about a year ago

Neo-Soul Keys all the way. I love being able to adjust all the mechanical sounds - it's what really gives it life. The others sound too clean to my ears.
To be fair though I'm hyper-sensitive to these having owned a Rhodes for many years
Thanks, Doug. That is informative. Comparing to the others Colossus EPs sound thicker and more immediate to me. It is AU as well.
Yes, and this is what makes it so much fun to play - to hear it barking, growling, knocking 😃
Of the three I only have Module, which I really like. I also have a hardware keyboard that comtains a range of good epianos, so I don’t feel the need to buy any others.
Right there with you.
Had the chance to put my hands on one, and I can only agree with you. Neo Soul Keys is the one that comes the closest to the real thing.
Never been a fan of the Rhodes bell. Always found that layering a music box or a glockenspiel sounded much better. But how I love its dirt !
