Another good reason for a ETD...;-] We've talked about this before but:
When I check a piano after FAC measurements on my SAT III, I can,
 within a few seconds, know where that piano is at.  The tenor may be
sharp but the bass right in the ball part and the treble flat.  I can quickly
bring down the tenor and raise the treble and then start tuning.  Or I might
split the difference in all areas and go through once floating the pitch..
