Either way, you can apply different processing to the sides, or just different settings.
But I wonder how this would differ from simply sending the stereo piano into a stereo compressor and EQ?
I'm curious how one might do this with Reaper plugins. Guessing Reacomp-ReaEQ for example. Does Reaper have an included Pultec-like EQ plugin? I only use ReaEQ.

I remember reading (or seeing a vid) about post processing acoustic guitar recorded using one mic (mono). You would copy the file to a second track, pan each track slightly and then EQ the different tracks as you would perceive the sound coming from the guitar (ie. HP the right signal and LP the left signal). Then send both tracks to a compressor (and reverb, etc. if needed...). Obviously a lot of tweeking to get it to sound right. I've never used this technique (yet) but I imagine you can do the same with piano.
