And has been recently calibrated (they don't
self-calibrate).

It takes generally over one second for the exhaust
gases to stabilize at a given load/speed site and be
read cleanly by the analyzer.  Can't happen on an
inertial dyno.

And again, the BIGGEST one is being able to provide a
full load and get an accurate reading.

Tuning is tuning, regardless of the gas you're using. 
99% of the machines I have tuned have been on pump gas.
