to those fence-sitters: What I still haven't heard back from the doubters is a "ears off" test. Where do the different EDT's get you "out of the box", without any visual matching of partials, or adjustments to the calculation. I've tried with some of the toughest pianos I see; the Baldwin Hamiltons. Try to get beatless octaves across the break. Yes, there is a difference in the calculations of the different machines. Yes, the Verituner made the best choices to my ear. Can you "fix" a tuning with your ears, well sure, are you looking for a machine that you can trust, or one you need to constantly double-check? You can listen to the people that are using the VT, or you can listen to an ex-SAT salesman that knows every trick in the book to combine the machines with the ear to come up with great tunings. (that's not a bad thing, by the way!) The VT comes up with good tunings, hands off. (no multi-pages, tweaking, etc, remeber the Wurlitzer spinet a few weeks back?) Yes, I do miss having all the business benefits of the laptop, but I don't miss lugging the weight.
