Given what David Anderson recently documented about the large 
variability in action ration in NY instruments, it seems that they 
can't even produce consistently to their own specs.  If this is the 
case, how can they hope to consolidate construction details with 
another piano factory?

The specter of the lower common denominator is a pretty scary thought.
