HI Don,
I don't know if I can or cannot out performe an ETD and I'd love to 
eventually have one just for peace of mind in noisey envirorments, but I 
think there's something to be said for counting beats aurlily rather than 
simply going up the piano and then doing unisons.  I think aural tuning and 
eTD tuning can go hand in hand as well.

ps. I hope I can get my hands on one of these little things so I can see the 
display for myself and determine how large the print is. I recall this 
technician's SAT print being small, but I didn' tget a close  look at it.
