Errrmm going by memory I would say the Austrian Grand is probably closest. At least of the ones I've heard. It's a paid expansion though.

If you own The Grand you could try resampling it. Tbh I never really liked it.

That's an interesting idea. Let's say I wanted to sample a great piano that I have access to, is there any way I can make it a SGX2 piano rather than just a HD1? I'd like to be able to add the string and damper resonances to it, but that seems impossible with the HD1 engine. How do these 3rd party sound developers get access to the SGX2 parameters? Is it a licensing thing from Korg?

You can't make your own SGX2 piano (except by talking to Korg I guess), only HD1. I don't think you can reproduce everything but several programmers have gotten pretty creative with HD1 to add damper resonance etc.
