Since the characteristics of the motors vary so much (in my experience) it is not critical to be overly accurate.

Anyone wanna back me up on this?
How much error does everyone else have in their speed matching?

I'll back you up. We have about 1.2% error at max power output and about 3.5% on free spinning. This drive train is planned for next year though, so I can't say too much. Last year was about 4% error on average, using the drills and cims.

It is easier just to match the max power speeds of the motors, since that is the time when you really need the error percentage to be less.
