     HI Phil    
 I have to confess being trained & worked as an aural tuner as well & I have 
found that I disagree with the way the Any sat model calculates the low tenor 
below the f-3 to the break.To my ear it always tunes it too flat. It's not a 
big deal. I usually overide it & I just tune around it aurally.

I feel you are missrepresenting the SATlll in your statement below. I've been 
using the SATlll for three years and from my perspective using manual stretch 
is the exception. By far, the majority of the pianos I tune need very little 
or no correction at all. I tuned strictly aurally for 28 years and I love the 
SATlll.

IMHO, if you like listening to your octaves and manually setting your stretch 
in the various areas of the scale each time you tune a piano - the little 
powerhouse SAT 3 is hard to beat - it is so simple and a pure pleasure to use. If 
you like to just shift into autopilot (but of course, still have complete 
control over stretch settings, etc.) and produce fantabulous tuning time after 
time on any piano, go with the VT. And of course the VT has all sort of other 
bells and whistles.

I was in love with my SAT 3, but I'm also in love with my VT and I feel like 
we are still on the honeymoon after almost two years now!
