Audacity could record only the Audio outputs of the piano. But Audacity does not do MIDI at all.

So it really depends upon what the end user wants to be able to do.

The ability to record MIDI output can be handy for things like automatic music notation of what has been recorded, also MIDI can be much more easily edited after the fact, even on a note-by-note basis, whereas recording audio may allow punchins and the like, but the editing is likely to be far more work in the long run than MIDI.

Of course, if they wish to record MIDI, PGMusic's own Powertracks or RealBand would be the way to go. Either will record both Audio and MIDI at the same pass if desired, as well.
