Because it's so precise, I can be happy with the tuning even if the pattern is still moving a bit. When my ears get oversensitive, I can relax and not second-guess the tuner. By itself, it hasn't reduced my tuning time. However, having a baby has -- I'm down from about two hours plus to about an hour and fifteen or so. And the continuous reading does cut down on frustration. The one I won on Ebay was not in working condition, but my recording engineer happened to know someone who was fixing one, so I traded mine and some cash for the one the guy was fixing. I love it!
