John,
I copied the below from an Epic Tuning thread and it's written by Jim from Starthaus and it applies to edge setting tools such as the TriOne.

one word of caution to any of you considering these options is the danger to your health using these machines. they put off a very fine cloud of metal dust that can be breathed into your lungs. there has been a few WC techs that have experienced issues with this dust getting into their lungs. eye protection and a respirator is mandatory as well as some type of magnets on the tool or on the edge of your bench below your vice are needed to pull the dust out of the air.

My thoughts about doing a test where skis are tuned differently on each edge are the musings of the engineer mad-man that lives in my brain. He distrusts manufactures claims and likes to see independent verification. My gut is that you take such good care of your edges that it's might be difficult to tell the difference on all but the hardest snow. We'll all learn something from your report out.
