  I hear what your saying & I agree.  I'm not sure this  answers any of your 
2 question directly but  I just listened to a CD of Ron  Overs piano.  A   
71/2  ft played by Scott Thile.   Scott is a very talented player but the other 
real talent is in  Ron & his  piano.  I have listened to many good to horrible 
piano  recordings & most probably Steinway Ds so I have a good feel for this 
sort  of thing. At first I though it wasa really good D but then as I listened  
closely I realized how purely powerful & clear the tone was.   Especially the 
top four  treble octaves.  The whole piano was good but  Rachmaninoff really 
showcases the trebles & they shined. 
    Pure tonal power.  Oh...My  ...Gosh.  The  Rachmaninoff  was gorgeous but 
the pianist had a lot to work with. Quite a  good recording & the sound was 
what I personally have always hoped for  intuitively. The recording subdued the 
bass a bit but still the whole piano was  a dream.
  A preferable sound?  Oh yeah Baby!!

My  experience so far is that the RC&S boards with cutoff and fish etc.,  are
better, but different.  By better, I mean more predictable, better  success
rate, fewer quirky things like killer octaves, dead trebles,  unsmooth
transitions, thuddy low basses, distortions in the tenor,  strange
resonances, dead spots.  There are some qualities that change  and my attempt
in all this is to understand why and whether those other  intangibles are
also controllable.
