QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thank you, Paul. I hadn't seen any use for the boost so far, but now I 
get it :-)
Going even slightly into the see-saw plateau, which I tried a couple of 
times, gave me rather strange values for the linearization.

A basic question about the linearized values:
Is linearization perceptive (for the eye)? Because when I measure it, I 
always get some kind of hanging curve, not straight.
