This has been my experience as well. IMO, the perfect platform to do  
a fine tuning from is 2-3 cents flat throughout, so I want it to be  
slightly below pitch after the pitch raise. The only section of the  
piano which I may have to rough tune twice is the high treble, and  
that's only on those 60-100 cent raises.  As an aural tuner, getting  
in my head about percentages and amounts of overpull really slows me  
down and kills the flow, man. Let your body do it, quickly and  
precisely.
