My first attempt at tuning was with an ETD and it took about 6 hours. AFter 5 years of practice, it would take me about 1-1/2 hours. AFter 10 years of practice, I could tune a piano in 20 minutes if I had to. I don't think it matters what kind of a gadget one uses, or even if one tunes aurally, there are still about 235 tuning pins on a piano. Even if you spent an average of 5 seconds on each one, it still comes out to about 20 minutes. The use of an impact hammer allowed one tuner, Coleman, Sr.? to tune a piano in about 10 minutes! Practice is everything.
