One point which may be missing in this discussion, and it has to do with the reference surface you are setting your tools off of.
If you have two tool sets, with one common tool shared between the sets, then you must set all the tools off one reference, and not use two references. I'm not clear on how you set the tools up originally. This way, it is safe to move either tool set up or down with the workshift and maintain the correct relationship, since you can only have one tool length measurement.
