It is, indeed, as long as you stick on a straight FAC calculated
tuning.  However, I don't always find FAC calculation thoroughly
appropriate, specially in the tenor break.  That's why a good number
of my pages are actual FAC tunings slightly "improved" by aural tests
and partials calculations.  Most of the time, the call is for 440 and
that's where all my stored pages sit.  But when I have to raise the
pitch up to 442 and if I want to stick on my "personnalised" page,
then we get in a totally different story.

That where I find the offset by the calibration mode most useful (see
my posting "SAT Offset, recalling the Tip of the Year").
