By my criteria, I don't see where it matters at all. This isn't about 
replicating or "surpassing" an aural tuning or producing an ideal 
tuning, but rather about replicating the previous tuning by (as closely 
as possible) the same method on a given piano under different RH% 
conditions. That doesn't mean aurally tweaking an ETD tuning, or 
changing anything in the basic recipe between tunings. The tuning 
doesn't have to be optimized, WOW, or otherwise anything but as nearly 
as possible algorithmically repeatable without custom intervention 
between tunings. The ETD tunings, like the aural, just have to be as 
cleanly and precisely arrived at by as non-changing a criteria, as 
possible. There is no need or desire to directly compare the aural with 
the ETD.

This isn't about tuning methods at all. It's about pianos.
