What I would really like for fine adjustment, e.g. one step when
tuning weak RTTY, is tactile feedback from the knob. A slight
bump for each time the VFO changes by one tuning unit. Note that
in today's radios, tuning is not continuous, it is digital, and
knowing when you have moved the VFO is useful.
I use the M memories for switching between CW, Data A, RTTY, and
SSB. No memories left. (I consider a good day on the air is one
where I have digital, CW, and voice QSOs.)

I had "ballistic" tuning on the FT-847 that I had and hated

when trying to tune quickly up or down a few kHz, I would end
up going a MHz or more and have to struggle to get back where I
wanted to be.

I have the M1-M3 memories for each band set to take me to the
center of my CW operating band (M1), Data mode (M2) and SSB
(M3) leaving M4 for storing the current VFOs for a quick come
back to the prior frequency. It works well for me.
