Ever tried to tune a piano?
I thought I would be real smart, and save myself some money, and bought a GREAT strobe tuner, and a piano peg key. We had moved, and the humidity change played havoc with my piano tuning
Ummmmm.... 6 hours later, it was a hopeless mess. Even though everything was spot on with regard to the strobe, and octaves worked well, playing chords sounded like Neil Young singing harmony with Bob Dylan.
Then the professional gets there, snickers at my tuner, and goes to work.
Piano tuning, IS tempered. A guitar with it's mathematical frets are actually more accurate, but, even properly intonated certain intervals will sound out of tune. It's not the intervals that are out, it's what our ear hears.
Don't want a Feiten tuning ?
Here's your choice.
62 Tone Just
As far as what guitar I would buy under 2500, I'd have to go with a handmade TK. He's a helluva nice guy too.
