Heck I don't even know what the 'sforzando synth engine' is.

The RealTracks have the full playing style of the musician; the "playable" part is played from a MIDI segment, so any "live" expression can't easily be included. For that short part you get the slightly more robotic sound of a MIDI player, rather than the RealTrack.

Sforzando is a soundfont player rather than an, e.g., Moog-type synthesiser. It's perfectly capable of playing pretty good sounds of traditional instruments. It's the engine that PG use in the "Hi-Q" sounds. Much better than CoyoteWT.

The answer of course is to try it for yourself and see if it behaves as you want. It has its limitations, but pretty much everyone seems to think the "Playable" feature is a plus.

I presume in this case that "Hi-Q" refers to "high-quality" sounds.
[For me as an engineer, the term implies a narrow-band filter.]
