I'm a bit confused what the point of the Nord Piano Library DVD's (original sounds for free) I received with my new Stage 2 keyboard. Are these sounds better than the piano sounds already build in the keyboard? Should I update?
Any insights would be very welcome!

Re: New Stage 2, why the extra Piano DVD's?
There are sounds pre-loaded in your Nord. There are sounds available online. And there's a DVD full of sounds.
They are all the same sounds. Like, precisely identical. You can choose between pianos (Bambino, 3D, etc.) and sample size to meet your needs.
My presumption is that the pre-loaded sounds is Nord's opinion of what you'll like. Not a bad starting point.
One thing you'll discover is that uploading new sounds over a crappy USB interface takes serious time. So if you want to go exploring, my advice is use the S (small) sounds to check out what you like as a preview, and go from there.
BTW, none of the sounds work out the same in a live setting, so there's that.

I think I have gear issues ....

Re: New Stage 2, why the extra Piano DVD's?
DVDs are shipped with the pianos for those people that may not have ready access to reliable high-speed internet. They are a just copy of whatever was on the Nord website when the DVDs were created. Subsequent newer releases (pianos, samples etc) from Nord will need to be downloaded however.
