A library like Ivory is recorded dry. Listening to it is like listening to a
piano that you directly recorded from mics.
Pianos from a workstation are already equalized, compressed, and layered with
effects like reverb to make them fairly close to how you'd want them to sound
in a mix.
You can get the piano libraries to sound as good, and better, but you need to
know what you're doing, and use a fair amount of processing. The workstation
presets don't require that you know much of anything about how to mix piano.
For many people, that's the way to faster results.

I've never used ivory, but I have the 1gb sample of the bozendorfer Grand from
EastWest, and I played it through VSampler and tried it in a recording
recently. I put it side by side, as you might say, with a yamaha p120 electric
piano, and I can tell you that I, and my recording partners, all agreed that
the yamaha certainly sounded warmer and more full. Now, i probably could have
eqed the eastwest sample to get warmer, but we're talking "straight from the
factory" here. I know Ivory has been discussed on this list, but I don't recall
how accessible it is with jaws. Most of the higher softsynths aren't
accessible, so you can't edit the sounds the way you want, which is why you
won't get strings or brasses sounding the way you do in a hardware synth. The
demos you hear of these instruments are done with sounds already edited,
layered, etc by technicians from the manufacturers; which is why they sound as
great as they do in the demo.

There is not a hardware synth on the market that i know of that can
touch ivory grant or art vista for pianos. The kurzweil is very good
at pianos but there just different sounding. The motifs sound to
digital to me but i know they are supposed to have some very good
expantion boards and those pianos sound really good from what i have
heard. But, i guess you just can't beat a 40 gig sampled library of
pianos verses maybe a 30 meg hardware sample.
