No,  I have always kept them together when I suggest a move out of ET.  I 
once had a pair of different tunings in a room and there was a weekend of 
practise for "Rhapsody in Blue".  The  Kirnberger and ET didn't get along 
very well, and both of the players automatically assumed that the different 
tuning was the problem. <sigh>  It was a net loss.  bygones....
    If a professor wasn't going to accompany other pianists for a tuning 
cycle, and you pitched it as added resource, say, "this tuning will give you 
a broader coverage", or some such snake oil,  they may look up it as having 
extra tools.  Let us know what works.
