When inspecting my piano sample "collection" and programs from time to time, I did notice samples I don't use at all (or only in one or two programs). Also I rearranged samples several times or focussed more on upright pianos for example. In these cases I first relinked, then erased and finally uploaded new samples (and could always see how much space is left).
It's good that Clavia enables both ways to do this sample management.

Nord just released their 9th Rhodes, the Stockholm, modelled after a 1976 Mark I. This might be the best EP ever for a hardware keyboard: it sounds great (the XL version weighs a whopping 100 MB, since it's fully mapped!) and it's pretty flexible genre-wise. Here's the link:
At this point, I don't think we can ask anything else of Nord: the piano library's more or less "complete". Going forward, I hope they'll get back to work on the Clavs and revamp the Hammond engine, but that's another topic entirely. I really didn't expect them to come out with another Rhodes, and such a beautiful one at that!
Revamp the organ section? Geez what do you want? Never satisfied I guess.
When I use the rhodes pianos in my NP5, I usually add click noises of different models, this gives more flavor to the sound!

He stated in his comments that he's going to be doing some reviews on the other Nord pianos he uses, including acoustic samples. That will be interesting.
