James,
	I don't have any experience with historical temperment. I only have a 
few years (very few) with ET. But..... back in the college days, in my 
first semester of music history, I remember one of the students had a 
digital that had 4 or 5 HT's built in. Played chromatic scales starting 
at C and going up one octave in ET. Then changed to a HT. WOW! What a 
difference. Some of the chords sounded like curdled milk. And some of 
them purer than the light at the end of the tunnel. I have all respect 
for HT's, but have not experienced them, nor have my clients. Maybe 
someday.
	I would probably have to say that the Kurzweils probably have the 
closest HTs and Digital sound. But what do I know about digital. I have 
a dino-dino-dinosaur Clavinova. ET and not the best. Sound ...... 
well....for the time it was incredible for digital, but its 10 years 
old.
