Who says E.T. is the best way to solve octave divisions?

I've been tuning well temperaments for years, using Coleman 11 as a default
unless specifically requested. One piano teacher (Julliard grad.) says that she
doesn't have to try to inject expression into the music because it 
was written in.

At a concert yesterday the pianist didn't notice non-ET only that the 
piano sounded great,
plus it had drifted up to 443 from 441 in August (evenly I might add).
