I'd think aural would be the better choice. As the reference 
moves, what you're tuning is moving too, and presumably in the 
same direction, so the two should end up closer. A miserable 
situation, in any case.

I've seen C7s that were very nice, and some like you describe. 
Most are somewhere in between.
