Hi Antonio,

Neat plots!  It is rather amazing just how well these plots show 
tuning effects!  I don't know how many hours I have spent with 
calculator or computer just trying to work out "one" tuning point 
;-)  Plots like this are much like maps pointing one towards the 
right direction.

Interesting how you show the effects of losses and how they effect 
the tuning space.  It might be interesting to subtract the two plots 
to come up with a "delta" plot for various changes too...

Cheers,

        Terry
