     Hmm,  Ok,  this will be easy.  My system is to take an FAC from any 
well-scaled piano, and apply Jorgensen's numbers,  or Jim Coleman numbers.  
The normal disjunctures that may be found at a break are easily dealt with 
aurally, if need be. This can be done by any competent tech, anywhere, so 
those of you that want to compare, have at it. There have certainly been 
enough techs that have heard my renditions!   
     As a precedent describing the value of simplification, Thomas Young, 
after positing the directions for achieving the idealized form of 
well-temperament, stated that almost the same effect could be achieved by 
taking two strings of fifths, one in which all were pure, and going the other 
way around the circle, 6 of them that were equally impure.  According to 
Jorgensen, he was concerned, in 1800, that tuners wouldn't use a temperament 
that was too difficult to produce.   I think the same is true today, and I 
haven't seen any evidence to the contrary.
