Unless the tray is warped (which it often is) which means you’ll be setting the key lift timing different from one end to the other. I prefer to use the platform to gain uniform key timing and then shim the tray felt to get uniform pedal lift or better replace the tray felt with a set of capstans and put a piece of felt on the bottom of the lever itself.

One of brass! Yet, I cannot do a better job of regulating the dampers than what I get when I use the tray itself to set the height of the underlevers. Takes no tools,and compensates for that micro wear from note to note.
