Well, I'm not talking about leaving sloppy thirds, just that if a piano
requires a compromise in certain areas of the scale and the choice is
between nicely progressing thirds OR good octaves, I'll always sacrifice
the thirds for the octaves.  Generally, pianists who can tell a flawed
thirds progression have pianos that don't require that kind of
compromise.

I don't know. Dave. There are a lot of thirds passages in piano music.
One of my profs complained once he didn't think his run of thirds was
even enough, not the tuning, but the voicing. I think they do hear it.
