You ain't half bad at expressing things yourself, Joe. Something which no one has mentioned yet -- speed tuning may seem to be a financial necessity, but if one does too much of it, burnout may take one's piano earnings down to zero. Physical and mental stamina become an issue at some point. I take my time, partly because I enjoy the work more that way, and partly because I know I'd crash if I didn't.
