regulating philosophy

[ed miller]

I'm curoius to hear about people's approach to regulating. More specifically 
I'm looking for thoughts in two areas:

1) When you are beginning to regulate using a few sample keys to discover 
what specs work best for that piano, what exactly is IT that you are looking 
for? How do you know when you have found IT?

Is it more in the "feel" that a certain combination of specifications gives 
a keystroke, or is it more in the absoluteness of the numbers (for example, 
if you are looking for .045" aftertouch, then whatever combination of the 
other variables that results in .045" aftertouch is best)?

2) As you work toward finding the best possible regulation you have to make 
compromises along the way. How do YOU rate the variables in a keystroke's 
geometry in terms of importance? For example, in the following list which 
items do you think take precedence over others:

Blow Distance, dip, let-off, aftertouch, checking distance, (add whatever 
else I've missed)

A curious mind wants to know. Thanks.
Ed
