I agree with MarioD and others who say MIDI will still sound like MIDI without some data massaging and controller information added to emulate the dynamics and articulations of the instruments. So I use TTS1 for my default MIDI source just to get decent, quick previewing for a lot of instruments, but wouldn't use it for a final product at least for most instruments. Most of my music (jazz/bossa nova influenced) uses a specific set of instruments - acoustic piano, nylon guitar, vibes especially - and I've invested in some dedicated VST plugins for those. I play most piano stuff myself, but have found that the MIDI generated from many of the acoustic guitar real tracks sounds very good going thru my Ample Sound classical guitar VST. I also find the piano RealTrack audio often sounds too compressed and choppy. (In general I don't find RealTracks of polyphonic instruments with a lot of sustain render all that well.) But sending that MIDI to my Pianoteq 7 plugin sounds great and gives more control. I've just started going down this path, and find that the RealTrack MIDI sounds much better and less mechanical than a MIDI-only track coming from a MIDI style. Quality of transcription may influence this.

Your experience may vary, especially depending upon what musical styles you are working with.
