I would have to disagree on the point about  TL97 being less clear when 
it comes to tuning curves. Actually... the ability of TL97 to be used to 
generate tuning curves based on sampled partial information in the same 
maner as one conciously approaches an aural tuning has kept me using 97 
over its later versions.

A little understanding of tuning theory, and a basic understanding of 
how 97 works... and you can duplicate the ear approach very nicely all 
the while learning more and more about how partials fit together in the 
great puzzle of tuning.
