Have you sold your traditional instruments to switch to Pianoteq?

Hi. I’ve had my electric Rhodes for 2 years now, plus an old Fender Rhodes Mark II, so I’ve ended up with a bunch of stuff that’s taking up space but that I haven’t really touched since I discovered Pianoteq. And the quality of the physical engine has honestly blown me away, especially on the prepared piano models. So I’m wondering if now might be the time to sell my traditional instruments to fund the upgrade to the Pro license (the Stage 8 version is okay, but I’d like to have the Steinway D and Blüthner add-ons). The thing is, I’m a little afraid I’ll regret it later—the feel of a real keyboard just isn’t the same, and I don’t know if Pianoteq can really make up for that in the long run. Have any of you sold your physical instruments to switch completely to software? Did that change anything about the way you compose?
