A QCTP is all about convience Pete. The wedge type is supposed to repeat better, maybe if you washed the tool post and the holder each time you mated them you'd see the difference but in a shop environment, don't think it matters. I have a wedge type Dorian CXA on the Summit and a home made piston type on the Hardinge. You'd never be able to change out a tool and rely on the DRO to cut what it says on either. Both seam ridged.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
