Speaking as someone who regularly tunes a Yamaha CP70...  :-)

Digital tuners are generally limited to 5 cents accuracy.  That's fine  
for many instruments, but for tuning a piano it's just not acceptable.

A strobe tuner (or nowadays a virtual strobe) will get you an order of  
magnitude better accuracy than that.  I use a Peterson Virtual Strobe  
any serious work and I think it's great.  (They also offer an  
inexpensive iPhone app now!)
