I use the Verituner and previously = used an SAT 3. Yes the Verituner is larger than the SAT 3 - about the same = footprint as the SAT 2 if my memory serves me correctly - a bit heavier though. = While smaller is always an advantage, I do not find the size of the VT to = ever be a problem.

You can get a reflection sometimes if you are sitting = opposite a bright window, but you just angle the VT a little and the problem = goes away.

If you like to just = shift into autopilot (but of course, still have complete control over stretch = settings, etc.) and produce fantabulous tuning time after time on any piano, = go with the VT.
