Ron O. Hmmm, I dont think anyone should use any data at all from one piano to predict behaviour on another. Each action is a thing unto itself in the end. But as long as you are comparing weight and distance ratios in this manner, I will say that I use a measured distance ratio indicator to predict and insure weight ratio behaviour consistancy in the same action. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
