Here is my general take on both of them. They are both GREAT tuners, there is no doubt about that. However, there have been TONS of people upset about Nelson's customer service after he has your money (retunes, problems, etc). Wheatley is a good guy, but it seems his business has grown too much and at times he can be hard to reach. They're not bad people, but customer service seems to be the downfall you ever hear about for either tuner.
