Setting up and more things to buy

I was prepared to admit defeat yet again, but I think I've got it set up decently. My new feeler gauges helped me to be more confident that I hadn't messed up the truss rod. I compared various measurements to the tele which NY Guitars (30th street) had set up for me recently and they matched pretty well. That is, I capoed the 1st fret and looked at the clearance at the 8th fret when depressing the 22nd, and it pretty much matched. Ditto for the string heights at the 17th fret. So maybe it's ok. It still doesn't feel great, but I think I'll hold off taking it in for a setup and continue tinkering. Besides, I may install a Tremel No, and then I'd be back to square one as far as setup.  I still can't see how "the pros" can possibly deal with a floating trem, though of course they do.

Not only can I waste some more money on a Tremel No, I found a review on thegrearpage.net of a really cool tuner, the Turbo Tuner ST-200.  I'm sorely tempted to drop $129 on one.  Using the tuners I have makes it harder to set intonation, which I seem doomed to do frequently. How could I possibly live without this gadget?
