If you want a really delux ETD that does it all for you... then the 
Verituner is probably the best option. Its multipartial approach utlizes 
the number crunching capacity of processors in a way no single partial 
machine can do. A single partial based curve is far from the same 
approach that the ear pursues, which is really why I use tunelab to 
reference already tuned notes.

Ear tuners want to sort out one coincident at a time.... and you can 
easily set up Tunelab 97 to create a template that lends itself very 
easily to providing the exact same kind of information the ear is 
looking for in a visual and dead on accurate way.  When it comes down to 
it... the only single partial curve you really need (if you are going to 
use one at all) is for dividing up your temperament segment.  That can 
be as small as a 5th if you really think about it. Personally, I use a 12th.
