I can't say I see the need for the precision of a digital gauge for initial cartridge set up. So long as the VTF is within the recommended range, is not the final setting then done by ear?
The value I see with a digital gauge is to measure VTF after the optimal setting is determined. Then for those who swap out cartridges it would be easier/faster to reset to that value whenever that cartridge was put into play again.

Well, you can talk about setting it by ear, but the fact is the manufacturer recommends a setting (or range) that puts the coil in the proper relation to the magnet. If you think it sounds better elswhere go for it.
I assumed the set up would be within the manufacturer's range. But sometimes that can allow a fair bit of attitude in finding optimal sonics.
