ED;
 While I agree with what you say. Mostly :-)  'If' you are going to be 
changing keybed felts leveling the keys won't gain anything will it?
  'If' you have a 'level' bench  and set samples in the piano as you suggest 
'after' bedding the frame, one can indeed get very very close on the 
bench.....

 With a properly bedded frame, done in the piano, and the action/keybed 
setting on your bench all the actions/reactions/measurements will be relative 
and setting the 
newly felted keys to the 'unnewly felted' samples will put you awful danged 
close. 
     
  Close enough for "Performance Quality"...nope.... but awfully danged close 
indeed :-)
