Tuning Two Together

Seasons Greetings to All!!

I have a question about tuning two grands of different sizes to each other.  
These pianos are played together.  One is a little tiny 4 foot piano, the 
other a 6 foot.  I know that if one is careful about setting them both to the 
fork EXACTLY, and being very careful about temperament setting, the two 
pianos should sound ok together.  (Though extreme regions may not be in tune 
due to the differences in scaling.)  

I've also heard that to really make sure they are going to be in good tune 
together with no funky wolves, you should get someone else to play 
temperament notes on the already tuned piano and compare the second piano to 
it as you set your temperament.  

Anyone got any other ideas about how to make sure they come out perfect?  And 
don't tell me to buy an SAT, I don't have the bucks for that!!!

Have a great season!
