Agreed.. digital instruments, although my cute little Kawai digital piano
can reproduce identically the sound of a bosendorfer grand piano, it is a
long way off producing the kind of resonance dynamics that a true piano can
do.

If you agree with the above then how can you say it's better for recording?
Have you ever heard of a concert pianist record Bach's Goldberg Variations
on a digital piano?  Although it would be funny to hear someone like Murray
Pariah playing that with the naff xzylophone effects ;-)
