Brian,

I prefer to provide the best possible tuning, whatever the
circumstance.  I tuned exclusively by ear until only three months ago. 
Now I use an ETD and want it to be at least as good as my aural
tunings.  I chose RCT because I want the best and I want it to be able
to design my tunings in as many ways as possible to fit the instrument,
the client and my ear.  I also want to be able to achieve more accurate
pitch raises than I ever could before.
