I play in a lounge/jazz act that dabbles in oldies rock, and depending upon the chart, I opt for Grand Imperial, Silver Grand, or Bambino. I found myself EQing the Bambino a bit, but it’s not really needed on the others.
Note that I don’t really trust the mono summing of any stereo piano sample (FOH is mono), so I allow the instrument to remain configured to send a stereo signal, but I only connect the right out. This ensures (for me, at least) that no pesky phase cancellations ruin my tone. Yes, there is a price to be paid in the volume of the lower octaves, but that helps naturally tame the muddy aspect mentioned above, without having to resort to EQ.

Re: Acoustic piano at gigs
First off distortion. If u are worried about how loud,
Then make sure your master volume on keyboard is
70-80ish percent, chech that agsinst the preamp in the
pA board to make sure u dont clip the channel. Use a radial
Engineering DI box to seperate what u have going to
the FOHOUSE. MIX what u need.
