Default PCR/R-1500: Is 1Hz vs 10Hz tuning step a big deal?

I'm trying to decide between the PCR-1500 and the R-1500, but I notice in the specs that the PCR-1500 has a (minimum) tuning step of 1Hz while the R-1500 has a (minimum) step of 10Hz.

The potential versatility of having the remote head as an option appeals to me, however I am unsure of the usefulness of having 1Hz available as a tuning step (on what I'm assuming to be certain specific bands). I'd like to see what some of you think about the pros and cons of each and whether or not any of you think the difference in minimum tuning steps would be a dealbreaker for either model.

(As a side question, does anybody use this to monitor the air bands and if so, have you ever tried it versus an old Realistic Pro-2006?)
