Well, it's not that tuners created cabinet drop... it's that tuning by ear has one automatically accounting for it and making the necessary adjustment so it's a non-issue. The drop is still technicall ... | |

What Earnest said. Every all-pull guitar I've ever played will start to move the strings if you touch the pedal, even slightly. So, I don't do that.
A push-pull is a different story... |

That's an interesting experiment you did.

If your only concern is the timing of the two pulls (rather than the total throw distance, or how stiff or loose it feels), you could go either way to get those pulls synced up.
