You may recall that when I was in a cranky mood I flamed someone who wanted to be given FAC numbers for a small K&C. Now, in my experience 70s era K&Cs might give you an astronomical number for the F3. Like 28 cents or so? The SAT II will compute a tuning with a default maximum F3 number of 20 cents. However you approach such an instrument, the results will be imperfect. The Acrosonic is much more reasonably scaled, but you should measure that particular piano to generate a tuning; it won't have exactly the same FAC numbers as the Acrosonics I run into.
