Are talking the PreloadVE button on the Material tab or the Tuning Wizard one?

I'm not quite sure what difference I should see. The tuning part is quite a simple model, so I can't imagine what would look bad on it.

For tuning wizards, it is best to use a specific profile.

With the Preload wizard, you need to have the seam with 0 jitter and on a straight edge. See the attached style profile.

Look at the seam. You will see a "sweet spot" where the seam is near-perfect.
