That was the answer I wanted, thanks!! :)

Huh. I beg to differ ; specially on the high strings, my guitars and 
bass have to be tuned accordingly. Let me rephrase that: If I get 
everything tuned, all harmonics OK, flashing strobe lights aligning and 
all, on this guitar, and then, on the tuner (GXTuner on the master bus) 
change from 440 to 441, it *does* matter much. Both perceivably (it's 
somehow worse that being plain out of tune) and visually, on the tuner's 
display.
