Such questions are very difficult, perhaps impossible, to accurately answer. Stopper's ETD may be the first ETD which produces an identifiable, distinctive style of tuning. Other ETDs are "tweakable" to suit the preferences of the individual piano tech. Although I find PureTuner's sound quite pleasing, it is likely that some will find it not so. Most especially, the software will tune given notes in a way that supports the overall effect of the tuning; I'm almost certain that some techs will be unwilling to give up their own stretch preferences in specific parts of the scale; and to do is necessary to achieve the software's overall synchronous effect.
