I haven't had the need to replace my ancient Seiko ST-727, but you guys have me intrigued...
...Regarding tweaking by ear, I have a trick that I do that a good tuner will allow you to utilize.
I tune the wounds (or strings 4-6) about 2-3 cents sharp. I then tune the plains (or strings 1-3) either dead on or a cent flat.
It's kind of a variation on the setup that Jerry Donahue uses, and that I imagine many folks did years ago, prior to the Buzz Feiten stuff, compensated saddles, what have you...
But I find that it still works even with well intonated saddles. If you've got a decent strobe display, you should be able to nail those few cents FAST after you've had practice.
Not really relevant, and probably a bit of a digression, but just thought I'd share...
