+- 1 cent accuracy
Backlit display for dark stages
Bass or Guitar mode
Drop D, Open D/E/G/A, DADGAD and flat tunings up to 5 semitones

I'm certain I'm showing my ignorance here but what do these units do, or why are they worth so much more money than the multitude of $20 tuners available? |

Location: Utah | If all you do is tune your guitar to standard tuning, it really only adds accuracy. There are a ton of other functions such as drop tunings or offsets which are useful for some folks.
Good tuners will be more stable over temperature changes and less affected by sagging battery voltage. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Good strobe tuners like Petersen can cost upwards of $500.
These cheaper ones for less than $100 have a lot of bang for the buck and do a good job.
Course if you want to really go cheap there are tuning forks and pitch pipes. |
