Looking for a really clean and realistic piano plugin. Tried the NI Kore stuff but looking for something a little better. Any ideas?

I'll second the budled piano plugin (EXS24) with Logic. With some effects applied, the thing sounds amazing. I've also heard great things about Alicia's Keys from NI.

I find myself constantly going to Nexus for any piano sounds I need, they've never let me down.

http://www.sampletekk.com/ has some nice piano libraries available

also

http://www.acoustica.com/pianissimo/

and

http://www.truepianos.com - somehow I can always layer it nicely with other sounds (but I wouldnt say that is sounds most realistic - but I like it :) )

A great sampled piano such as Ivory etc. doesn't necessarily have to be the best choice in a dense mix in trance.

Truepiano is the best all round 'realistic' one imo.

Can vouch for that one.

When you say "clean" and "realistic" are you intending this for a piano-based composition, or a typical trance piano? Trance pianos typically aren't very realistic and I agree with Kysora that the Nexus pianos are very good for that use. If you want true realism, be prepared to spend a lot. Personally, I prefer my Kurzweil PC3X's pianos for realism, in terms of both sound and playability. Some of the NI Akoustik Pianos (discontinued) and the ones included in Kontakt are pretty good. Ivory is excellent, as mentioned.
