I’m sure I read that they’d improved them, no idea in what way, from 2015 to 2016. Titanium nut in mine too, which may make a difference?
Mine stay solidly in tune, no issues at all. You can adjust between accuracy and speed to taste, so if you want them super accurate they obviously take a little longer, if you want them quicker, to within a cent or two, they can do that too.
If you just play standard and just want to check you’re in tune, or maybe Drop D, then yes, it’s probably quicker and easier, but if you want to go from Standard to say Open G, I find it much quicker and easier just to let it do it’s thing, especially as it means I don’t have to remember what string needs to be tuned for what for anything other than Standard or Drop D.
Bearing in mind it tunes all six strings at once, unless you can tune by ear, I’d say it’s defi quicker and easier.
From the front I don’t see any difference, looks
wise, obviously form the back, you’ve got the plastic box thing stuck on the back of the headstock.

The only problem I have with re-stringing is I don’t do it enough to remember how to do it without consulting the manual to see which combination of buttons to press
Other than that and remembering which Direction to wrap the strings around the tuners it’s a breeze, couple of button presses and it winds the string and tunes it. What could be easier?
Not played live yet, but wouldn’t hesitate to use them when I do.
I mean, how often to you change tunings playing live? Wouldn’t it be easier to have a couple other guitars on hand for different tunings?
