Summary: 


In my experience, the use of 2 hyper-cardiod mikes ( like AKG 202's -
a.k.a the Duchess's Delight) with one working in close on the treble
range - about 18 inches off, and the other about 10 feet away picking up
the reflected sound off the sounding board, give a very good mix. 
I don't believe in stereo close-micing of a piano... it is too gimmicky.
It is far more rewarding to capture the tonal extravagance of a piano in
good old mono, then maybe add some stereo reverb.
