Clark, 

Maybe this is the Weinreich phenomen again, that is
the piano actually sounding better when all the
unisons are not quite 100% on.  It doesn't happen on
all pianos, and tends to be more apparent on better
quality instruments for some reason.  If everything is
tuned to 100% accuracy, then the improvement comes
after the passage of a little time, maybe a day or two
when there is just enough shift to allow this to
happen.
