Greetings, 
     If .400 is correct on everything,  then all pianos must have the same 
ratios for optimum response.  I haven't seen that with Steinway pianos.  Some of 
them require .400"-.410", and some of them do better at .390".  It depends on 
how high you want the accidentals to be, and how much aftertouch is desired, 
(less is better).
