That's not necessarily bad... If you are an aural tuner, the beats for your temperament and octave checks may jump out at you, and you'll be muttering to yourself, "So _that's_ what I'm supposed to hear". For the same reason, your unisons may give you unexpected pleasure. Soooooo... don't be surprised if the tuning takes longer than usual (the point of diminishing returns take longer to reach). You may realise that you can do better tunings than you ever imagined. Have fun!
