Well, I took the plunge and offered a non-ET tuning to a piano teacher. She 
asked, "What will it do for me"?
I said that it will give more tone color, she said without hesitation, "Do it".

I loaded a representative Victorian temperament in the Verituner and tuned 
away.  The results were a pleasant
surprise. Fuller, warmer, was her initial response.; loving it - days 
later. One of her adult students told me the
piano never sounded better and will probably want something similar on his 
piano next tuning.

There's no turning back...
