<< I will just enter them and see what happens. I suppose Dean has run this 
one
through the ringer a few times. I dont use RCT much, prefering the way I use
Tunelab 97 to tune by 12ths... so I havent gotten into tweaking with the EQ.

thats all on my list of things I want to get done :) <<

Umm, Richard???  If you are going to do a temperament comparison,  I would 
encourage you to "see what happens" in private, not on an instructor's piano! 
 You only get one chance to introduce this sort of thing to the  curious 
musician and it would be a shame to blow it because you hadn't worked out the 
kinks in using the hardware. I don't use an RCT, so I can't help, but if you 
have any questions as to whether you are actually producing the temperament 
you intend to, get them answered before the trials.
