I might do that already, Ron, but after so many years of tuning, I probably don't pay much attention anymore.

It'll be weird and awkward at first, but if you don't fairly quickly find that you can tune a unison as well as ever this way in significantly less time, go back to what you usually do. The thing is to actually give it a try instead of just looking down your nose at it, before writing it off.

Looking forward to comparing this process to my current mode of operation.

As to looking down my nose,
   only illogical claims without substance seem to catch my attention.

Best,
