Yes, I do think whole room units are better. DC units do not address pin blocks in grand pianos. I had a customer with a 5 year old Kawai RX series with a DC unit installed and had loose tuning pins. I read 15% humidity in his home. I instructed him to purchase a humidifier immediately. With 6 weeks at 40% humidity the tuning pin were back to normal tightness. I got it back in tune and now it stays in tune. I have found that DC units do a fairly good job in upright piano.
