The sophistication of the VT is no surprise to me, but size matters. 
My current tuner tucks away on the bulb sitting on top of my 
shoulders.

RTC or TuneLab, and especially grateful for the small size of the 
ETD? One which mounts easily on the tuning pins? That's the choice 
I'm thinking of making.
