Are you planning on playing a really soft piano, or recording it from the other room? For reference my STO-2's are rumored to have a 27dB noise floor. SM-81's are around 15dB. IMO anything ~15dB or less is good. If you're close micing, that noise floor is of no consequence. Now if you've got it rigged up to a camcorder in the BACK of the auditorium, then you might desire better IMO. Especially if we're talking about a relatively soft source. Although at that distance your noise floor is the least of your worries. Down in front... Shhhh... There's a concert going on... Take the kid outside already... Popcorn... Peanuts...
Matched pairs are needed for stereo IMO. Although that's mainly for live event recording. Keeps your levels matched. Keeps it from soundling like the stationary mics and stationary source are moving while recording. It might not matter that much for piano, since some movement is expected given it's realestate and some proximity. To each their own though. You can get by without a matched pair and fiddle with the results to make them seem better matched if it's a problem. I just like keeping the post production simple, given a choice. It's also easier to sell two of the same mic used if they're matched. Debateable as you don't have to sell them as a set to the same person.
