Do higher end tuners pull in more stations


?
Have got a nice bottom of the line NAD digital tuner (think it listed at about 200 when I bought it two or three years ago) and a well installed (IMHO) outdoor antenna.
As you go up the food chain in tuners do you typically get;
1. Better sound and no significant difference in fm reception.
2. Better sound and more staticky fringe stations.
3. Better sound and more stations that come in strong and clear enough to be enjoyable.

Other thing, if the answer is 3, anyone got a favorite tuner at a good price to performance ratio?

Eldartford & 4yanx make an interesting comment... what's the sense in spending MegaBuck$$ for a quality tuner to pick-up stations that the bean counters control and supply with the least expensive broadcast equipment they can get away with? I wonder what priority quality has in their broadcast equipment when they know the bulk of radio listeners do so when their cheap digital gear isn't available. Seems like there are too many variables totally out of ones control to invest too much in a tuner.
