Default Basic and simple modeled piano vst?

I'm looking for a really basic and simple piano VST. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just the lightest and smallest and simplest free piano vst.

The steinway setting is great for its size. After that I use my actual kawai digital piano. All the other emulations dont impress me for the dozens of gigabytes they take.

Spitfire LABS Soft Piano is my current favorite. I like Piano1 as well.

I'm also a fan of Piano One, which is currently available for free with SoundMagic's Neo Piano (the "engine"):

http://www.supremepiano.com/index.html?piano1.html

It's based on a Yamaha C7 Grand, sounds good for general use and is light on CPU.

Note that, after opening an instance of Neo Piano, you have to click the area that says "No instrument loaded" and select the Piano1.ins file that is supplied with the download. After that, you can save it as an FX Chain in Reaper so that Neo Piano always loads with Piano1 selected.

Edit: This is a different (older) version of Piano One than the one posted above.

Keyzone classic is the best sounding freebie IMO

Salamander also gets a ton of love

Versilian Upright is also cool
