Default Strobe Tuners..
Got a planet waves NIB for 43$ shipped. Wanted a stroboflip but they are considerably more expensive..

all I can say is

a) I have never enjoyed tuning my guitar as much

b) I have never noticed how crappy my machine heads really are.

I have the Planet Waves strobe tuner as well-it is more accurate than my Boss TU-12! Tuning with the Planet Waves strobe reminds me of the 70"S man!!!

What impressed me about the turbo tuner was the demo where the guy runs through scales and the tuner can keep up. Not something I really need tho.

I am using chromes on my 125 and 165 and both react well to the tuner.
XL110s on my Tele and no issues there either.

I have a Peterson StroboFlip. It's much more accurate than ordinary tuners. It should be the same with all the Peterson digital strobo tuners - I think they are the same under the hood. I have no experience with the mentioned Planet Waves tuner, but if it works the strobo way, I figure it's very accurate too.

Has anyone compared the accuracy of their strobe tuner with either the iStrobe or TC PolyTune for iPhone?

I have the Peterson iStroboSoft for iPhone, very precise and fast. The display is like the StroboFlip, it has 1 cent precision and tracks very well acoustically with the iPhone mic.

buddy at work also has the iphone tuner.. when I get back I can try a shootout.. I like the peterson display but the planet waves was too good a price to pass up and certainly meets my needs.

I have the Planet Waves Tru Strobe pedal tuner. Simply awesome! Easy to use, fast, and accurate.
