I like this piano. Steingraeber was my favourite, then Mistral and now Steinway B. Love it

I have long been a fan of the "B" as the most believable piano, especially sitting at home playing it in its Player preset. It's better in 8 - just a little warmer, a little fuller, and the bass has grown to match its size (I used to think the bass was more like that of the smaller L/O class, even almost like that of the M).
Also, watching your video, I must say that I really like the large single piano-in-a-space picture, compared to the three prior segmental, almost diagramatic pictures -- it somehow just helps sell the idea of the piano in a beautiful performance space, such as the stained glass-filled hall with the late afternoon light streaming in that shows up in the Cinematic Reverb, cleverly leaving the piano in an area of shadow (which makes having the cut-and-paste imaging much easier than trying to have sunlight streaming in on the piano!).
Anyway, it's good all around, aurally and visually.
