The finale version of GPO only has a few small differences. Go to
www.northernsounds.com and search around in their forums to find out
what they are. Mainly, the Finale version actually has a few small
things setup slightly differently for playback...which make more sense
for the way Finale works. I can't remember any more than that. I can't
think of any reason why one version would sound better than the other.
Its possible that the full version has a few more instruments (such as
the steinway grand for example).
As to why the overlap between notes is a tiny bit longer in the full
version vs the Finale version..that is an interesting observation and it
is possible that the legato programming is different...and again..I
would encourage you to ask around on the GPO forum over there... actual
guy that did all the GPO programming hangs out there.
Lastly, please try to use the GPO player inside Finale instead of the
FinaleGPO player. It will work. It would be nice to hear if you're
assessment of these differences is related to using midi instead of
built in VST. I suspect using full GPO directly inside finale will
sound exactly the same as in GPO Studio.
If you prefer full GPO over finale GPO, then there are advantages to
using GPO studio however. For one thing, its an ASIO app, so very low
latency. Secondly, you can control how much reverb on every
instrument. But other than that...GPO should function exactly the same
way inside Studio or directly inside Finale.

I kept all the parameters the same, using the same instruments, same
reverb, same HP etc. GPO was loaded in AU for one case and in the
other, I used Garritan Studio connected via their inter-application MIDI.
I think I like the MIDI version better. HP worked better and was more
noticeable (not always a good thing!). In one case the AU version
simply would not play this one string harmonic within a passage of
harmonics, but it played fine using MIDI. (I cannot figure out this
strange anomaly. I've erased the passage and reentered it several
times with the same result!)
I also notice that the amount of overlap between notes is a tiny bit
longer in the MIDI playback as opposed to AU/VST playback.
YMMV,
