It was actually quite the opposite mindset. It was more like "hey, we've got all this crap, let's make use of it."
I've had the R16 for a while now, and have been looking for the right moment to put it to use. Like most musicians, we've all got enough stuff to open a pretty righteous pawn shop.
But, certainly to one your points above Chuck, my live EQ settings are very different from when I want to record in a controlled environment. I find myself tweaking the EQ constantly based on the room, speakers, situation and sound I'm shooting for. Playing a lot of jazz, I look for a more authentic old school vibe rather than a cutting sound. The Amber Upright is pretty much my go-to for most of it. If I were studio record, I might gravitate more toward the Royal Grand, but I don't like it all that much for live use.
It's just a great thing that we are fortunate enough to have dilemmas like this.

Re: Your experience recording your Nords?
Just bought a Zoom Q2N two days ago. I still have to check why I my audio is clipping from time to time, but was fun to record myself.
Missed some notes but first time I record myself...
