Lowell Component Downbearing Gauge

  Well stated & right on & for me this is what the jig  veriifes for me most 
of the tiem.

If  you are going to change the bearing you would most likely do it globally( 
 unless there are
vertical hitchpins throughout) and that change would be  monitored 
empirically anyway, ie by ear.
So my thinking would be come up  with a way to "get a reasonable sense" of 
the static downbearing
quickly  and proceed with an informed, but ear guided response.  

The  big reason I see for being able to very accurately measure 
after-stringing  downbearing is
to compare it to the projected board deflection you  predicted prior to 
setting downbearing,  to see
it you are predicting  the affect of string loading reasonably accurately for 
future  projects.
